This review is from: Big Bad Book of Bart Simpson (Simpsons Comic Compilations) (Paperback)

Like the first "Big Book of Bart," this "bad" book is made up of many shorter comics; some as short as 4 pages. Also like the first book, these comics are a lot more childish than the other Simpsons Comics books. Many of the punch lines are more silly than funny. Highlights include Bart and Milhouse dressing up like Sonny and Cher to escape truant patrolman Leopold in "Bart Simpson's Day Off," and the comic "See You Later, Alligator" which has the Comic Book Guy offering $25 shopping sprees for the best science fair projects (this comic actually has a good ending). This book also includes shorts featuring a day in the life of Ralph Wiggum and baby Kang and Kodos. To sum it up, the funniest moment of this book is the look on Smithers' face in "See You Later, Alligator" when Mr. Burns demands him to "open that manhole for me."

This review is from: Big Bad Book of Bart Simpson (Simpsons Comic Compilations) (Paperback)

Yeah, the early reviewer is a tool. I busted a gut laughing all thru this collection. I'm afraid the reviewer's comment about this material being aimed too low says more about him than about the material!
