In "Homer for the Holidays," the Simpsons take a frosty twist on a classic tale as the kids at the Burns Orphanage bring a snowwoman to life with a magic broom—only to find their new friend is less playmate and more strict, no-nonsense nanny. Written by Ian Boothby and illustrated by John Costanza, with inks by Howard Shum and colors by Art Villanueva, this holiday special captures the charm and chaos of the season in a uniquely Springfield way. The cover, by Jason Ho, perfectly captures the whimsical yet slightly exasperated spirit of the story.
