Simpsons Comics Meltdown

Book excerpt: Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons,” serves up a high-octane collection of combustible tales. It’s a red-alert laugh riot when all of Springfield moves in with Mr. Burns after a hazardous nuclear cloud engulfs the town. Then, fire up the grill as Krusty the Clown’s famous franchise gets some not-so friendly competition from a new burger meister––Homer Simpson! And when Springfield faces its worst financial crisis in history, Mayor Quimby sets off a firestorm of trouble by declaring that the town be open for business 24/7. Watch the pies fly after Marge hires Krusty the Clown as her new life coach. Finally, in an incendiary fable, Homer is appointed the new fire chief and literally decides to fight fire with fire. This volatile and explosive comic collection will ignite a wildfire of hysterics.* *Caution: This edition does not come equipped with any laugh-saving devices.
