In "Bard Boiled," Homer's nap during a school production of Troilus and Cressida sparks a surreal dream sequence where Springfield's residents reenact various Shakespearean tales in their own chaotic style. Written by Ian Boothby and illustrated by John Costanza, with vibrant colors by Art Villanueva and Joey Mason, the issue blends classic drama with the show's signature absurdity. Jason Ho's cover captures the zany spirit of the story, showing Homer lost in a theatrical fever dream.
