EXIT THROUGH THE COMIC SHOP

Bart’s tagging starts to get the attention of the latest curator, but he wants to keep it a secret as he doesn’t seem to like the limelight. So who gets all the credit? Comic Book Guy!  He seems to love and cherish the credit and even makes a wad of cash. Bart seems to not be too fond of CBG taking credit for his pen name ‘El Barto’ so he tries to discredit him with a fresh painting while the fat one is giving an interview. However, the local TV crew doesn’t buy it so Bart comes up with a painting inspired by the best comic heroes all doing things they don’t normally do. This gets CBG to exclaim ‘Worst…Painting….EVER!’ and eventually come clean.

ANGRY DAD in the LAST BEER

How far will Angry Dad go for the last beer?

MAGGIE AND THE BUCCANEERS

Maggie has a dream that she is on a pirate ship and as such kicks the crap out of everyone on board. Thankfully, Bart wakes her up before any REAL damage takes place.

AGENT VS AGENT

What happens when Scratchy isn’t wearing matching uniform? BLAMMMMO!

 

Nice issue of Bart with the main attraction being a rather hilarious read. I would have preferred another Bart story versus a Maggie one, but overall I can’t complain. I’m also hoping we can get a whole bunch more of Agent vs Agent, I think those are a bunch of fun and a nice change of pace. For 2.99, a rather solid buy.

8.5 out of 10
