Simpsons Comics #40

Dec 1998 · Bongo · 2.50 USD; 3.50 CAD
“Sideshow Simpsons”

In "Sideshow Simpsons," Krusty the Clown’s ill-fated visit to the Simpson house takes a painful turn, leaving him stranded as a reluctant houseguest. With Krusty stuck underfoot and the family suddenly facing a legal storm, the Simpsons are forced to run their show from home—turning the living room into a makeshift studio. Written by Bill Morrison and illustrated by Phil Ortiz, with inks by Tim Bavington, colors by Nathan Kane, and letters by Jeannine Black, this 1998 Bongo Comics issue captures the chaos with its signature humor. The cover, penciled and inked by Bill Morrison, perfectly captures the absurdity of the situation.
