Simpsons Comics #224

In "Moat Monty Moat Problems," Homer’s misfortune with a wrecked family car leads to an unexpected upgrade when he’s handed a sleek loaner—only to find the new ride makes life feel impossibly better. As the Simpsons grapple with the absurd luxury of their temporary wheels, Mr. Burns takes his obsession with isolation to the next level by constructing a moat around his mansion. Written by Ian Boothby and brought to life by Phil Ortiz’s expressive art, with inks by Mike DeCarlo, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2015 Bongo Comics issue blends suburban chaos with classic satire. The cover, by Jason Ho and Mike Rote, captures the moment with a perfectly timed splash of absurdity.
