It's been a very long time since I read or even watched The Simpsons. I used to love this show growing up, my whole family used to watch it together. But since I discovered Family Guy, I've not really bothered with The Simpsons.
I did really enjoy this collection of stories, even if some were a little cheesy. I loved 'Sideshow Bob's Holiday Wishes', made me chuckle. All the stories were themed to the festive period which makes it the perfect read for Nov/Dec!
The only issue would be the length of the Annual. I know this is common with all Annuals nowadays but they are so short! Back when I was a kid we used to walk 60 miles to school with no shoes! , annuals used to be a pretty decent size, at least twice the size of this! I think it's a shame that they are no longer like this.
