Simpsons Comics Colossal Compendium Volume 4 by Matt Groening is a great colossal compendium but also a great comic version of an addition to the Simpsons universe. This book starts with a competition to become the Lard Lad kid of the year between Lisa, Bart, and many other kids all around. Eventually Bart comes out on top and wins the competition having unlimited doughnuts. Followed by the tale of the failing bear patrol and a side of the legend of the boy who would not take a bath. With small funny stories everywhere and a great superhero comeback story following Duffman and his initial failure to save the life of the party. Then as the ultimate "buzz kill" supervillain comes in to murder the ongoing party, but he proves to fail when Duffman comes in to save the day. I reccomend this book to Simpsons lovers and comic book lovers. Or somebody in need of a great read.

Another solid entry in the world of Simpsons comics. I appreciated that this one didn’t have a larger overarching story and the longer story it did have (the last one) was just long enough to be entertaining and tie two characters’ stories together. I liked the smaller McBain stories that culminated in one story too.
Some had weird art styles I didn’t take to and other stories had promise but fell apart at the end. Averaging out my score for each story I got an exact 3.5/5 for the whole compilation, which feels right.

Ei Simpsonit kyllä toimi paperilla eikä suomeksi. Mutta yksi vitsi oli todella hyvä, Cletus ampui perunatykillä ja huusi että "saat potut pottuina".
