“The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson”

In "The Rise and Fall of Bartholomew J. Simpson," a future where a dying Bart Simpson faces a radical transplant, his final cryptic words—“Fish logs...”—hold the key to his survival, leaving only Lisa to unravel the mystery. Written by Robert L. Graff and Jesse Leon McCann, with art by Óscar González Loyo and inks by Tim Bavington, this 2001 Titan Comics story blends sci-fi speculation with the family’s signature humor. The cover by Mike Rote and Bill Morrison captures the moment with a striking, melancholic edge.
