Simpsons Comics #228
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.
In "Dumpster Divers," Bart gets a wild idea after hearing that criminals sometimes toss stolen goods in dumpsters to stay hidden—so he grabs a flashlight and starts hunting for treasure in Springfield’s trash. With nothing but hope and a knack for trouble, he dives into the city’s dumpsters, turning every soggy box into a potential score.
Homer stumbles upon rumors of a secret Krustyburger menu hidden from regular customers, and suddenly every trick in his playbook is put to the test to get his hands on it—no matter how absurd. With his usual mix of determination and poor judgment, he’s determined to taste what’s off-limits, even if it means going full detective in the drive-thru.
