Simpsons Comics Presents Bart Simpson #59

After Springfield Elementary enters the final of a food eating contest, Mayor Quimby promises every student an "A" if they win—so Principal Skinner is determined to make sure they don’t. With the entire school counting on the prize, Skinner’s desperate plan to sabotage the final pits him against the kids, the teachers, and even the mayor himself.

Bart Simpson is set to perform on stage during a Mother's Day assembly with his classmates, but his moment in the spotlight quickly turns chaotic when Jessica Lovejoy unleashes a swarm of ants that crawl up his legs—sending him into a frantic scramble. With the whole school watching, Bart’s attempt to stay composed is tested by ticklish torment, awkward reactions from Milhouse and Nelson, and the ever-watchful eye of Agnes Skinner.
