In "Uncle Burn$," Marge Simpson takes the meteorological spotlight when her hair—naturally attuned to the elements—makes her the town’s new weather girl, much to the surprise of Kent Brockman’s former on-air partner. With her soothing presence and uncanny forecasts, she brings a wave of comfort to Springfield, only to find herself caught in a quiet storm when the comfort food cartel begins turning public sentiment against her. Written by Ian Boothby and illustrated by Phil Ortiz, with inks by Mike DeCarlo, colors by Art Villanueva, and letters by Karen Bates, this 2013 issue features a cover by Kevin M. Newman and Mike Rote.
