“Dumpster Divers”

In "Dumpster Divers," Bart Simpson takes his scavenger instincts to the next level, turning Springfield’s trash bins into a treasure hunt after hearing rumors of stolen goods tossed out to evade capture. Written by James W. Bates and brought to life by artist Rex Lindsey, with inks by Patrick Owsley and colors by Art Villanueva, this 2016 issue captures the chaos and humor of Bart’s unlikely quest. The cover, by Jason Ho and Mike Rote, perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of the premise.
