Why no Simpsons/Futurama crossover?

I'll just have to try and find the comics somewhere (is the issue even available anymore?), but I'm not too keen on seeing an animated Simpsons/Futurama crossover. Most animated crossovers don't work too well, at least the ones I've seen. That, and considering how The Simpsons is a TV show in the Futurama universe and vice versa, it would probably end with it all being a dream or the holodeck malfunctioning or something.
 
I wouldn't want a full blown crossover on the Simpsons, but maybe a quick joke when the family is visiting the Fox studios and meet the voice actors of Futurama recording their lines and Bart switching the official script with one he came up with and the producers liking the revision and Bart receiving no credit for it.
 
The comics have been released in a special trade version, the one I got.

In it the floating giant brains trap Fry and the Planet Express crew into a Simpsons comic that Fry was reading, at first everybody but Fry and Nibbler (who gets quickly disabled by his specie's greatest weakness, lactose) believe they belong to this fictional universe to much hilarity.

Then it goes crazy from there.
 
Characters crossing over into what was considered a "fictional" universe, but actually turns out to be "real", worked for DC for their old multiverse----see the classic story "The Flash of Two Worlds" (where the modern Flash meets his 40s predecessor, who until then he thought was just a comic character he grew up reading)...


-B.
 
I remember one of the Simpsons opening couch gags had Fry dropping onto the couch with Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie via the transport tubes they used on Futurama. It then corrected by pulling Fry back up and dropping Bart in his place. :)
