It was first broadcast in 2001.
In the scene Homer strangles Bart as part of a curse placed on him by a gypsy.
Due to the curse causing mutations in the family, the strangling results in Bart being left with a long, floppy neck.
The Simpsons cels are part of a sale of 200 original animation artworks from the cartoons that shaped childhood across generations, as reported by What’s The Jam.
