In "Mall or Nothing," Homer’s accidental fame takes a surprising turn when he and Bart catch the ball that sets a world record home run—only to find themselves at the center of a family feud over credit and ownership. When Marge steps in to balance the scales, the ball becomes more than a souvenir, sparking a moment of unexpected loyalty between father and son, even as the original record-holder feels the weight of his lost lucky charm. Written by James W. Bates and illustrated by John Delaney, with inks by Andrew Pepoy, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2017 story captures the chaos and heart of the Simpson family with a touch of absurdity and a dash of genuine connection.
