Simpsons Comics Unchained #[nn]

In "The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth," Homer Simpson unwittingly becomes a pop culture phenomenon after his famous "D'oh!" moment goes viral across bloopers and prank shows—though he has no idea why everyone’s obsessed. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Phil Ortiz, with inks by Tim Bavington, colors by Nathan Kane, and letters by Jeannine Black, this 2001 issue captures the absurdity of fame through Homer’s blissfully unaware perspective. The cover by Bill Morrison and Mike Rote perfectly encapsulates the joke: the world’s laughing at Homer, but Homer’s still just trying to figure out what’s so funny.
