“Faking the Band”

In "Faking the Band," Homer Simpson takes a page from the pop music playbook, assembling a boy band from Springfield's most unlikely recruits—only to discover that the one kid with real talent is the perpetually clueless Ralph Wiggum. Written by Eric Rogers and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Phil Ortiz, this 2001 Bongo Comics installment captures the absurdity of fame with a side of unexpected musical genius. The cover by Bill Morrison and Jason Ho perfectly encapsulates the chaos, with Homer leading his mismatched crew in a bid for stardom.
