Well, maybe not the best, but still, an absolutely great later season episode of the Simpsons aired today, and its theme…
COMICS!
Or at least, that was the the theme of the secondary story, where Springfield gets a new comic shop, with ultra cool Comic Book Guy replacement, Milo (voiced by Jack Black). Not only is the story great for all the clever comic inspired gags (“Superman dies, Aquaman dies, Casper dies…”), not only is it great because I long to run an comic shop half as awesome as Coolsville, not only is it great because of Comic Book Guys “going out of business” banner… it is great because this episode features Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman and Dan Clowes – all guest-voicing as themselves!
Nothing beats Alan Moore chuckling over Little Lulu. Nothing. And let’s face it, he’ll need cheering up after this…
