The Big Beefy Book of Bart Simpson

   My all-time favorite episode of the Simpsons is called '22 Short Films About Springfield.' In that classic episode from 1996, Bart wonders if anything interesting in his hometown. The episode then focuses on all of the supporting characters on the show such as Professor Frink, Milhouse's family, and Comic Book Guy. I love how all of these iconic characters get a chance to shine instead of the Simpson family.

    If ever there was a comic book version of that great episode, it's this collection of issues from Bongo Comics- The Big Beefy Book of Bart Simpson!

Among some of the awesomeness contained within is a time-travelling adventure with Prof. Frink back to the early days of Homer and Marge, the epic search for the Squishee of Death, Computer Hacking 101 with Martin Prince, and much much more insanity.

   There wasn't a moment of this collection that I didn't enjoy though the Bart as Tarzan parody was probably the weakest tale of the bunch and yet I kept laughing and laughing at its goofiness!

    When you need a Simpsons fix and can't watch it on TV or online- the dynamic comic books by Bongo are a near perfect substitute.

   Worth Consuming
