In "Day of the Nerd," Bart’s school candy sale takes a wild turn when he crosses paths with the world’s greatest comic book memorabilia collector, while Lisa uncovers a shocking truth: the much-anticipated Mars landing broadcast is a government cover-up. Amid the chaos of Springfield’s usual absurdity, Homer’s misplaced pride, Marge’s quiet exasperation, and a parade of familiar faces—from Principal Skinner to Comic Book Guy—this story spins a delightfully offbeat tale of obsession, deception, and the strange magic of fandom.
