Today I was watching the 1959 science fiction film The Atomic Submarine. I couldn't help but notice that the aliens from the movie looked a lot like Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons. The similarities are uncanny, each are octopus-like with one giant eye. Also just like the Simpson's alien duo the creatures in The Atomic Submarine want to capture Earth people to study prior to an invasion of the planet.
Am I alleging that the creative team behind The Simpsons used the aliens from The Atomic Submarine as inspiration for Kang and Kodos? It has been well documented that the creators are science fiction fans so it is possible. Through my research I could find no evidence linking the two, so maybe I am the first person to notice this.
