Bart the Rake

Bart and Milhouse go around town and rake up lawns to earn cash for a game. Unfortunately, they learn the hard way that work never pays off, and why not take advantage of a free system.

Golden Receiver

Homer tries to convince Santa’s Little Helper to do a rather simple task and instead fuster clucks the hell out of it.

If You Could See What I Smell

Kinda like Matt Murdock, Lisa is granted powers that allows her to see what she smells, so if she were to smell me right now, she would see the entirety of the San Diego Comic Con exhibit hall. She attempts to use these powers to find out who in the school has been messing around with chemical warfare, but it’s Nelson slipping up that actually finds the culprit behind detention bars.

Our Take

A rather standard issue of Simpsons Comics. Nothing really sticks out as being truly crazy with maybe the exception being ‘If You Could See What I Smell” as there was definitely a Marvel Comics influence to be had. I would’ve liked another short, but overall, a decent read.
