 Very Funny! Apr 02, 2006
I got this on my 13th Birthday it`s sooooooo funny! but some of them aren`t about Bart. My favorite stories in this book are: "Big Fat Trouble in little Springfield","Bully For You" And the others in "Bart Simpson: Nature Boy". I loved this book immidiatley.

Awesome! This is a great book! My Parents Don't let me watch the TV show. So I checked this book out of the library.I loved it! It was not very funny, but I still enjoyed it. My favorite comic strip is Bart's Trip to the Zoo. I would recomnd it to anyone who is a fan of the TV show, or anyone in the 8-10 age group.

 Not Very Big and Not Very Funny Dec 18, 2002
As the title indicates, these comics feature the mischievous doings of Bart Simpson. Only three comics are centered around other characters ("Who Wants to Win a Pockfetful of Quarters" and "Battle of the Boy Bands" (Backyard Boys and N'Style) are about Lisa and "Bully For You" is about Milhouse). Instead of long comics that the other Simpsons books have, this book is made up of 15 shorter ones. These comics are also not as funny as most of the ones from the other Simpsons comic books (i.e. Unchained and Wingding). Younger readers may appreciate this book more than adults like me who crave the cynical view of society brilliantly illustrated in most Simpson material. I have a dozen Simpsons comic books, and this one I'd place in my bottom 3. Case in point is the first comic "Big Fat Trouble in Little Springfield." After making fun of the round, chocolate-loving exchange student Uter, Bart dreams of being grotesquely overweight. What keeps this comic from being a winner is that only Bart's stomache is bloated. His head and neck remain the same. It isn't like in the T.V. episode "King Size Homer" (my favorite Simpsons episode!) when Bart fantasizes about "being a lardo on workman's comp, just like dad." There he was a big blob cleaning himself with a rag on a stick. This comic, in contrast, has more juvenile humor. Nothing like king size Homer trying to make a phone call only to hear a recording "The fingers with which you are dialing are too fat." In the second comic, "Grrrl Whirl," Lisa is a soccer star?! Not only that, she is idolized by the young girls of Springfield?! This scenario makes very little sense for those who know the Lisa character as the unpopular bookworm with no athletic prowess (except in the one episode where she was an ice hockey goalie). Two highlights are "Terror on the Trioculon," a Lost in Space take-off with such characters as Dr. Burns, Saturn's Little Helper, Space Monkey Moe-Moe, and Milbot, and "Close Encouters of the Nerd Kind" (great title!) where Kang and Kodos try to abduct the typical earth child by aiming their ray over the Simpsons' house. Professor Frink fans will be happy to know he is featured in three shorts in this book.
