Simpsons Comics #36

When Krusty the Clown is sidelined by a bizarre microwave mishap, Lisa Simpson steps in to take his place on the air—much to everyone’s surprise. But when Bart uncovers a surprising clue from an unexpected source, he starts to wonder just how much of Lisa’s sudden stardom is talent… and how much is something far more complicated.

In the Krusty Brand Fun Factory, where every toy and treat is a twisted delight, Bart and Homer are swept up in a surreal carnival of brand-name chaos. As the factory’s neon lights flicker and its cheerful slogans turn sinister, a lurking presence whispers that no one leaves the Krusty Brand Deathtrap unscathed.
