Simpsons Comics #156
In "Leave 'Em In 'Striches," Homer’s latest get-rich-quick scheme takes flight when he decides to raise ostriches after being hypnotized by yet another late-night infomercial. With Phil Ortiz’s expressive art capturing every absurd misstep, and James W. Bates’ script delivering classic Simpsons chaos, the issue follows Homer as he grapples with the consequences of his feathered folly—especially when it comes time to sell his ostriches at the meat market. Jason Ho and Mike Rote’s cover perfectly encapsulates the humor, showing Homer in full denial, head buried in the sand.
