That recurrent exhibition of the Simpsons (particularly, Ned Flanders) in each new announcement, is becoming more intriguing in each news. I see people making comments that it deviates the attention to the game itself, but... Seems there's more than simply adding a funny character there.
There's definitely simething between the line to read there...
Seems a treasure hunt from BGA, but I cannot find any tips on where to start...
Should we start the hunt for an Easter Egg at BGA? Spoilers are welcome in this topic!
Let's "crack the code"!

Maybe a hint to Asmodee?

I don't think it means anything, it's just that whoever writes these news posts clearly enjoys pop culture references. The front page top story right now is literally the word "Abyss:" followed by two full lines of a song from a Disney film.

There might be a reason behind it. Why specifficaly Mr. Flanders?
Why some in evidence, others a bit hidden with the image?
Abyss: Flanders is a fish
Quetzal: Flanders on a boat
1871: CITY OF THE BIG SHOULDERS: Flanders is an entrepeneur or investor
Res Arcada: Flanders under the armpit of a sourcerer?
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER: The guy's face is mixed with Spain?
Just Deserts: a FLANders? really? LOL!
Alhambra: There he is, in the bottom left, looking at you!
Carcassonne H&G: he is miming a mammoth!
There were some games without his appearance, but St. Petersburg, there he is. First appearance.

Blue Skies : in the cockpit
Dingo's dreams : what is this white dog ? Has Flanders left his place ?
Draftosaurus : Flanders is back.
So what's going on ?

Yep. Adding to the list:
Draftosaurus: Flanders is back. But he's not allowed to cross with a T-Rex!
Dingo's dreams: Mr. Flanders' dog making its debut
Blue Skies: We present you Captain Ned Flanders
Abyss: Flanders is a fish
Quetzal: Flanders on a boat
1871: CITY OF THE BIG SHOULDERS: Flanders is an entrepeneur or investor

The city of Bruges is in the region of Flanders, Hans Im Gluck published the original, Queen Games is publishing a re-implementation as Hamburg, and both these companies have given rights for games of theirs to be implemented for BGA. Maybe I'm overthinking...
