Comics Review: Simpsons Illustrated #16
Spoilers Below
This go ’round of Simpsons Illustrated was a bit of a mixed effort to me. For starters, I wasn’t a fan of the Uncle Burn$ story due to the fact that the plot setup was a tad boring and The Snake cousins were about as unoriginal as the GoBots. The ending was classic Burns, but overall I wasn’t all that entertained by the dialogue. Fortunately, the action scenes more than made up for it, and I didn’t feel completely ripped off.
Hog Tied was pretty funny, because Ralphie is the man and he’s adorable as hell playing with the pig and I thought the Charlotte’s Web scene was funny. Maggie and Moe teaming up also never gets old.
Is this issue worth the $4? For the hardcore reader, yes. For the one looking for a hilarious deal, no.
