Simpsons Comics #42
In "The Homer Show," Homer Simpson’s accidental fame from blooper reels has turned him into a national sensation—everyone’s waiting for the one thing he still doesn’t know he’s famous for: saying "D'oh!" Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Phil Ortiz, with inks by Tim Bavington, colors by Nathan Kane, and letters by Jeannine Black, this 1999 Bongo Comics issue captures the absurdity of celebrity with a laugh that’s as much on the outside as it is on the inside. The cover, by Bill Morrison and James Lloyd, with inks by Morrison and Bavington, perfectly encapsulates the moment everyone’s waiting for—just not Homer.
