There will be standing room only for Matt Groening’s newest Simpsons Comics collection of comedy classics. This big, bulky, boffo book will have you bemused, boggled, and beside yourself with belly laughs.
Join “Our Favorite Family” as: Lisa joins a babysitter’s union only to uncover an insidious plot against the youth of Springfield; Homer “steals” Ned Flanders’s swimming pool, leading to a full-scale siege on Evergreen Terrace; the whole family’s Thanksgiving is threatened by Bart’s greed, Lisa’s protests, and Homer’s run-in with crazed, butter-fed turkeys; Lisa explores the subterranean catacombs under Springfield Elementary School; Grampa’s ownership of a WWII tank hurtles Springfield towards the brink of destruction; Homer and Moe’s other regular customers open a rival bar;
Maggie gets a bedroom remodel Homer-style; and Mr. Burns’s loyal lackey, Waylon Smithers, turns out to be the royal ruler … of Sweden. You will be rolling in the aisles with this side-splitting, knee-slapping, stand-up comic collection.
“Simpsons Comics, Belly Buster” is a collection of stories captured from approximately 6 issues of “The Simpsons” comic books. Clocking in at 176 pages this book provides great value for a graphic novel.
The problem with “The Simpsons” comics in general though is that they are typically not close to being as funny as even the most mediocre episode of the TV show. Therefore would not recommend this book for purchase if you are expecting the same high quality of humor found in the TV series, but if you are fine with slightly weaker writing then by all means you’d be hard pressed to find a better value of reading for the Simpsons fan.
