This review is from: Simpsons Comics A-Go-Go (Simpsons Comics Compilations) (Paperback)

For more than ten years "The Simpsons" animated television comedy has been a staple of the American television diet and popular with audiences around the world. Their antics and outrageous tales are also available in full color, comic book formats, the latest being the Titan Books anthology, Simpsons Comics A Go-Go. Here are to be found Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and all their friends, neighbors and fellow Springfield denizens in original, ribald, mind-bending, mad-science, alternate world stories that continue to demonstrate Matt Groening's genius for political and social satire, and flair for spoofing the sacred cows of polite society and contemporary culture. Simpsons Comics A Go-Go is "must" reading for all dedicated Simpson fans.

This review is from: Simpsons Comics A-Go-Go (Simpsons Comics Compilations) (Paperback)

This was the twelfth Simpsons Comics book I've read and, while it's not the best of the dozen, it is still a very funny book and a must for the Simpsons comics connoisseur (you got to love the cover art). Here's what you get:

"Rhymes and Misdemeanors": Martin Prince is in love with Lisa and, when his love is unrequited, they both do battle in the form of poetry readings at a nightclub dissing each other.

"The Great Springfield Frink-Out": A giant mishap occurs at the Frink labs (actually someone put tin foil in the microwave). This event causes everything to be topsy-turvy in
Springfield, for example, Marge is the mayor, Homer is a mobster, Cecil is the celebrity clown, and Bart has ambitions to be as cool as Milhouse.

"Tiger Teen": Fun mock mini mag in the style of those old 16 and Tiger Beat teen magazines of our youth. Of course, this one features Homer's barber shop group Be Sharps ("Homer Answers 40 Intimate Questions"-is that a perfect copy of those teen magazines or what?). There are also a few familiar names of 80s pop stars on the cover ("Cory Hart Takes off his Sunglasses-Exclusive photos!")

"Burnsie on Board": Mr. Burns tries to live out his boyhood dream of being an Olympic skiing gold medalist by enlisting the help of Bart.

"To Live and Diaper in Springfield": To pay for an expensive toilet paper dispenser Homer desires from an extravagant shopping network, Marge starts a daycare center. Her attention to other babies (particularly the one with the single eyebrow) causes Maggie to run away.

"Fan-Tasty Island": Mr. Burns needs a rare toxin to get by the Coalition to Reduce Air Pollution. This toxin can only be found inside a wood carving on a remote island. The perfect cover-up is to send a family to find the treasure-the Simpsons, of course. Very funny comic, but the ending is a little far-fetched.

This was a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. It contains some hillarious comics that made my stomach hurt from laughing. It is another wonder of the Bongo Comics Group. It is an assential for any true simpsons fan.
