This is a compilation of the stories in Bart Simpson comics, issues 13-16. For the most part the humor is uninspired and can't really hold a candle to the better Bongo compilations. Still, it will serve as a quick Simpsons fix. The level of hilarity is about 2 notches down from your average issue of Archie comics.
Here's what you get:

BARTZAN AND THE ANCIENT GOLDEN FORBIDDEN CITY OF GOLD: Bart as Tarzan defends a lost city from looters. This one co-stars Mr. Teeny, Hans Moleman, the Springfield Bullies and monkey-Homer and monkey-Marge.

LITTLE BUDDY DAY: A 2 page short wherein 4th graders at Springfield Elementary act as "Big Brothers" to the younger kids.

SCAREDY CATS: Another fairly short story about the time Lisa, Bart and Milhouse go to see the movie Space Mutants XXII: Disco Invasion.

BART'S BIG SPILL: Bart suffers an embarrassing mishap while preparing to give a big speech at the Student Assembly.

THE TIME BANDIT: Bart "borrows" Professor Frink's time machine and travels back into Springfield's recent history, when most of the adults he knows were in their late teens. Features a comic book hating Comic Book Guy.

BRING YOUR PARENTS TO SCHOOL DAY: This is a 2 page short about what happens when Bart brings Homer to school for the day.

COMPUTER HACKLES: The weakest story in the book, Bart bribes Martin Prince to hack into the itchy and Scratchy website during school hours.

BART DOES SOMETHING FISHY: Bart has a brief adventure at the Springfield Squid port

READING NIGHT: In this 2 pager, Lisa succeeds in getting her family to read more.

THE ONE PAGE GUIDE TO CREATING CATCH PHRASES

ZONE WARS: Bart tricks the Flanders boys in an attempt to get out of court mandated labor.

It ain't the tv show by any standard. However the character's essences are for the most part captured, and for my purposes (get my dyslexic daughter mor interested in reading) it was perfect. A few chuckles here and there. Definitely good stuff for young adolescent humor seekers.

I received my order within a week and the item was packaged nicely. Great communication from the seller and super speedy service. I recommend this seller highly!
