Simpsonovi - Komiksová dupárna
Hej, vítejte na pravé vesnické komiksové merendě! Připněte si pevně kšandy, nasaďte si holínky a rovnou do toho šlápněte!

Smithers začne obhospodařovat Homera a Bart se pustí do pravé bulvární novinařiny (jdi se zahrabat, Blesku). Takže neváhejte a přijďte si trsnout!

The book I am going to finish by 2/14/13 is a comic book about a family named the Simpson’s. I like to read these types of books because when I read them I can imagine what is happening in the book and it helps me understand the book more with what is going on. These books have different stories for each chapter and all the chapters are like one whole book in just a few pages. From the chapters or story is the one when Marge, Homer's wife is competing against Homer's personal assistant because she thinks she is getting in their marriage, so they compete serving Homer what he likes like food, his beers and other stuff he likes. At the end of that story Homer messes up his assistant Barbie collection and his assistant quits and Marge wins Homer back. Another story that i read is the one where Homer tries to make a band ok five kids, including his son Bart Simpson. Homer figures out that none of the kids have talent except for one of them that could sing so what Homer did is that the ones who didn't had talent were pretending they were singing and the voice was the one of the kid who could sing recorded in the video. The band became famous until one day one of the kids who didn’t got to be in the band told the fans that they were fake that they couldn’t sing. At the end they were getting ready they were nervous to do a concert and the were thinking what can they do so they decided that they were going to end the band. So that time was their last moments of being famous but at least everything went back to normal. I think that I am going to check out the same type of book next time because it helps me understand the book better and I really enjoy reading these types of books.

It is about Homer is doing funny stuff and he likes donuts. And Bart is doing gross stuff
There are not any awards won.
Behold the power that is Bart.
pg.13
The simpson comics is one of my favourite comics because it’s funny and in the book there are different stories to add to the simpson trillige. Also the stories are so much like the simpsons. There’s this one story where bart has to do write an esa about a famous hero and the person who writes the best esa gets a free supply of slushes for a year. Then he makes a plan to make a new fact about a famous hero.

This reprints Simpsons Comics issues #57 - 63. Nothing special here, from my perspective. There are a few scattered ironic twists, and I'm certain if you scanned the pages carefully, would find more. It isn't worth it to read it twice, however.
But that's my opinion. My wife read this as well. Now she normally does not read 'graphic novels', although in this case the pejorative 'funny book' would be more apt, particularly as it is a collection of funny books (ah, a throwback to the early days of comic books, when they were nothing more than collections of comic strips that had run in the newspaper). What goes around comes around... but I digress.
In any case, I was quite taken with her comments. I may be taking them out of context, but if I'm reading them right, she really sees this tome as an inspiration to readers as well as a medical miracle. Her two comments were:
Clearly, it cures insomnia. What a great benefit to mankind !!!
Wow, this book must really be special to inspire such a love of reading.
D'oh !!

This is so not normally something I would ever read. I haven't read a comic book/graphic novel since I was in about 4th or 5th grade. It's not that I personally ever looked down upon them. It's just that this was never really an area that sparked my interest. I only read this one because I purchased it for my students, and I wanted to make sure there was nothing inappropriate in it. The Simpsons have a history of sending mixed messages to young kids and teens. So then why am I purchasing this for my classroom? Well, I guess it's to get interesting items that the kids would like to read. I did enjoy this as there are some very funny stories with oddball tangents and stories that never go exactly where you think they are going to. I found these stories goofy, mindless, and an easy way to pass the time. And if it gets students reading, then I am all for it.

Pan Burns exceluje v posledním golfovém příběhu, jinak klasičtí komiksoví Simpsonovi v dobrém i zlém.
Překvapilo mě, že jeden příběh psala Gale Simon

I was impressed with this volume. The stories made me laugh and felt like they actually could be simpsons episodes. The characters still felt as though they had the same voice as they did in the show

Thanks to a trip to a funky Wilmington, NC used books shop, I found a couple of treasuries devoted to Matt Groening's comedic genius. I reviewed the Futurama find a few days back. Now, I wanna talk about America's favorite dysfunctional family- The Simpsons!
Five issues from the late great Bongo Comics series are reprinted in this volume. Stories include Bart running afoul of Jimbo and his cronies after getting ratted out to Chief Wiggum, Homer winning the services of Smithers in a poker game with Mr. Burns, and then Homer running for mayor after Mayor Quimby bans beer on Sundays. There's also a clever entry in the long-standing Burns vs. Lisa storyline when the nuclear mogul attempts to turn protected woodlands into an exclusive golf course.
And then there's the 5th story...
In that tale, Homer sees dollar signs when he creates a boy band made up of Bart, Ralph, Nelson, Rod Flanders and cool guy Roy. Hmmm... This sounds an awful lot like an episode of The Simpsons. And it is!
If you are a longtime fan of the show, you might remember the episode in which Bart, Ralph, Nelson and Milhouse were recruited to form a boy band. Their big hit 'Yvan Eth Noij' turned out to be a ploy by the US Navy to up recruitment rates. While this print story doesn't follow the plot of that episode- and no NSYNC doesn't make a cameo either, its awfully similar to that classic episode.
So which came first?
It turns out that the episode beat the comic story by about 2-4 months. I'm not 100% sure as comic books often are released 2 months prior to the cover date as a sort of sales trick with retailers. The Bongo story was released June, 2001. But I am not sure if now defunct Bongo Comics released it's books out of date or not.
You might want to say that the Bongo story was a rip-off of the cartoon. But in this case, with how close the release dates are to each other, I really don't know. Maybe writer Eric Rogers learned that such an episode was in the works from Fox and so he took inspiration. But based on my knowledge of comic book production history- this whole event could very well be a coincidence!
I loved this collection. As with any grouping of Simpsons comics, the fun was over way too soon. It was a fast read and I was completely to blame as I just can put these fun times reads down. But it was so worth it!

I've been trying to read some more graphic novels and this collection of comic book stories jumped out at me from its section in my local library. I particularly enjoyed the format for the Simpsons, as I've never been an ardent enough of a fan to pause the screen or search online for all the funny sight gags that I'm certain I have missed over the years of watching the Simpsons. With this, you can take your time and enjoy every bit of what the creators came up with.

Classic humor from all your favorite characters, plus some of the side cast! This album's got plenty of Smithers, for instance.

I love The Simpsons and Then a while back I learned they made them in Comic books so I read those and a few of the graphic novels, too.

I really enjoy these early 2000's Simpsons comics. They feel like old Simpsons episodes.

Not the best, which is a shame.

Another collection of Simpsons adventures stuffed full of bonus content. Well worth a read for fans of The Simpsons.

Read for Graphics Readathon 2020
This was a fun collection of comics that I really enjoyed. I especially liked the golf ones.
The band one also gave me Party Posse vibes from the NSYNC episode.
