Simpsons Comics #51

Day 2 of my Thanksgiving comic reads takes us to Springfield with a Turkey Day to remember.

Lisa is planning her annual protest of the holiday. Bart is going to skip dinner to get in line for a new video game. And Marge is in a tizzy because Homer ate the entire turkey and guests are due to arrive in just a couple of hours! Oh, and did I mention that Mr. Burns is being held hostage by a trio of gobblers?

This was a great issue that deserves to be animated. It was so funny and so perfect! 

Simpsons Comics also have small back up features that focus on the residents of Springfield. For this issue, Cletus the Slacked-Jawed Yokel is the star. In a parody of the Dan Ackroyd/Eddie Murphy vehicle Trading Spaces, a pair of college trustees make a bet that college isn't for anyone. Or is it? With Cletus as the test subject, higher learning with never be the same again!

A really enjoyable issue. The only flaw about it was that it was over too soon!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
