It’s Bart Simpson’s world . . . we’re all just laughing in it! Is it possible? America’s favorite pre-teen becomes the most hated boy in Springfield. But living life on the edge is nothing new to Bart Simpson. See Bart partner up with Ralph Wiggum when he joins the Kid Cops, compete in the brutal (and peanut brittle) world of school fundraising, challenge Nelson Muntz for the affections of the new girl in town, and much more!

I'm never disappointed with a Simpsons graphic novel. I hate it that they stopped publishing this comic, but at least there's still some volumes I haven't read yet. Overall this volume is more of the same, but that's never a bad thing with this series.

[J.B. Mathias · Rating 2 out of 5]

This collection of stories was underwhelming. The art in the first story was shaded very weirdly. One of the stories was just a parody of a greek myth that barely did any parody. Jokes are sacrificed for out of date political propaganda and the appearance of the phrase welcome to "the new normal" fills me with rage. While overall it wasn't terrible I don't think I even cracked a smile once. It's hollow, joyless and does not deliver on the covers promise of being funny.

Something about these comics always reminds me about old school Simpsons. They don't contain as much adult humor as the series, but that's fine. I enjoy the hijinks nonetheless! I love the idea of Ralph Wiggum as a Kid Cop.

A very funny read. It reminded me if when I was seventeen and I ended up reading all of the comic volumes that were released.

Another thing is that I can hear all the the characters volumes while reading each chapters.

A fun collection of stories featuring Bart Simpson that are cleaner than the show. I love that about the comics: they’re cleaner and more kid friendly than the show. I thought the one where Homer was following the car radio instead of the GPS was hilarious and classic Homer.
