Seeing the cool cover artwork for this comic book (the Simpsons in straight jackets) I had high expectations for this book. At first, I thought I was going to be completely disappointed. The first comics are not very funny and almost as silly as the "Big Book of Bart" books. The first comic, "Journey to the Cellar of the Kwik-E-Mart" is annoying. It starts with a strange photo featuring such things as Lisa wearing a Squishzilla cup and a guy in a chicken outfit tied to the hood of a car and then takes the reader back in certain increments of time to explain the ending. I kept forgetting what the comic was about while reading it. The ending to "Tic Tac D'oh" is farfetched even by Simpsons' standards. In "The Prime of Miss Lisa Simpson," Bart has the teachers deported and the top students have to take over their classes (this one has some pretty funny moments). In "Hamburger's Little Helper," the Simpson dog gains stardom after biting Krusty the Klown in the butt. Sideshow Bob is released from prison only to start a crime school in "Angels with Yellow Faces." The true gem, however, is "The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson." If you enjoyed the episode "Lisa's Wedding" where Lisa gets a glimpse of her future, this comic is for you. Lisa visits Bart in the hospital and hears him utter two words. She then researches the past to find out what they mean and why an anonymous person donated a digestive tract to her ailing brother. This comic is hilarious and you will never guess who Maggie ended up marrying!! Another fun addition is John's (the gay guy in "Homer's Phobia") Cockamamies Collectible catalog which includes references to many past Simpsons episodes. The shorts feature Bartman, Poochie, and Mr. Sparkle (the latter being as odd as the character). The look at the Simpsons' future makes this comic book worthwhile.

This book is the best although it has only 6 comics (ten dollars for this book is cheaper than buying six comics!!!)the six comics which are in it are the craziest,wackiest,looniest and the greatest of all simpsons comics yet!!!!THIS IS A MUST BUY for simpsons lovers but BE WARNED this is the hardest simpsons book to find!!!

this book rules the first story is a bit annoying carzy game shows,escaped criminals,famous pets,substitute teachers and find out which 2 students replace the teachers and find out who marrys maggie in the future(its Gerald the one eyebrowed baby) oh yeah u should buy this book NOW!!!
