Simpsons Comics #12 Back Cover Two-Fisted Tales #29

This back cover White-Knuckled War Stories No. 1 is in imitation of the war comics genre, and the design of the cover imitates a series with what I've always thought of as an unusual name, Two-Fisted Tales, illustrated here with issue #29 from September-October 1952.

Simpsons Comics #13 Back Cover



This back cover of Simpsons Comics #13 Wedgie #1 takes it's inspiration from
Archie comics.
Archie #37

Archie #101


This cover mirrors many of the elements of the original design of Archie comics which began in January 1942.  Wedgie #1 leverages the original Archie design, including the font, the most common color pallette, a yellow stripe across the top proclaiming "Springfield's #1 Hooligan!" instead of "America's Typical Teenager" and the script "comics" on the lower right, illustrated above to the right with Archie #37 from January 1949.  Bongo then wisely chose to integrate a famous element of the subsequent design that began in January 1956 with Archie #81, the face of Archie above the title.  This is illustrated to the right with Archie #101 from June 1959, mirrored on Wedgie with the face of Jimbo.

He can't get enough of that wonderful stuff!

Well, Grampa Simpson doesn't either, but he's willing to make it up! Come back to Simpsons' Mountain where the Depression ain't quite so depressin'! It's the year-end yuck-filled yarn of yore you've been yearning for!

Bongo Beat: My First Bully, Part One, by Matt Groening
Part Two appeared below in Simpsons Comics #16.
This Bongo Beat article was subsequently reprinted in Simpsons Comics Royale.

A Trip to Simpsons Mountain begins and ends as a parody of The Waltons, which was based on the book and subsequent film Spencer's Mountain, and like this Grampa flashback story is centered on a family in rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II. The Christmas theme of this story mirrors The Waltons series pilot "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story", and many of the character's names in the story mimick characters on The Waltons. Although The Waltons did appear on the cover of many TV Guides they weren't in a sleigh - although they did record "Sleigh Ride" on a 1999 Christmas album. During this story they also morph through Beverly Hills 90210, The Partridge Family, Leave it To Beaver and the movie It's a Wonderful Life.

Simpsons Comics #15 Back Cover Famous Funnies #1

The back cover of this comic Heinous Funnies #1 dated December 1933 is an obvious parody of Famous Funnies #1 from July 1934, considered the first comic. Famous Funnies collected comics from newspapers and continued to do so for hundreds of issues. I attribute the earlier dating on the Heinous Funnies as a subtle comment it was the earlier of the two and hence the first comic. The tilt and font of the Heinous Funnies title and the "No. 1" closely resembles the style of the original comic.

Secure your belongings and fasten your seatbelts! Patty and Selma are in freefall and they're crashing into the Simpsons' living room! It could be an epic tragedy for Homer and his brood unless the nicotine-needy sisters find success in the skies as flight attendants. Sadly for the Simpsons, Patty and Selma's service with a snarl could be an airborne disaster the likes of which even George Kennedy hasn't seen! It's all soaring and sputtering your way in Simpsons Comics #16!

The Junk Mail section invited fans to "replace the bolt" on Radioactive Man, supplying a page without the lightning bolt on his head. Submissions from that contest were printed in Simpsons Comics #21
.

A comic "grab bag" refers to the specific practice of offering a bag of (non-current) comics at a discount, one observed at all comic trade shows (comic "cons").

Bongo Beat is a memoriam: Doris Grau (1924-1995), by Matt Groening

Junk Mail section included The Bongo Take-Home S.A.T. (Simpsons Aptitude Test) a ten plus bonus question quiz with the answers supplied in Simpsons Comics #18.

Headlight Comics is a slang term referring to the genre of comics featuring women with prominent anatomy, as illustrated on the flip cover of this issue. See Wikipedia if that isn't sufficiently clear.

Just as the titles Headlight Comics and The Dame and the Clown might lead one to suspect, this is written in hardboiled detective prose, leveraging slang of the period that would make Raymond Chandler proud. Kudos to Clay Griffith and the rest of the team that put this together.

Simpsons Comics #17 KrustyCo Ad Spalding Ad

Not a cover, but a look at a KrustyCo faux advertisement within, one older comic book fans might imagine seems familiar. Sure enough, they've parodied the Spalding advertisement that appeared in comics from the 1970's on the right! Check out how each panel above on the left duplicated the original panel on the right.

Drop that Twinkie and don't touch those Doritos! Springfield is targeted as the unhealthiest place on Earth, and the Presidential Fitness Program dispatches McBain to whip the cholesterol-clogged town into shape. Hefty government pork awaits the town if it can meet McBain's fitness challenge. SEE - Bart power down a protein shake! SEE - Patty & Selma in inversion boots! (Actually, you might want to skip that page.) In the end, one man can tip the scales for Springfield to win its prize. It's Hungry Homer Simpson against McBain in the biggest, belt-widening brawl you'll ever see between lunch and dinner!

Carl Yastrzemski
1973 - from story

The story The Quest for Yaz hands us the design purpose for the back cover, where Milhouse attempts to buy a 1973 Carl Yastrzemski "mutton chops" baseball card for $30, echoing episode [7F21] Three Men and a Comic Book. The design of the flip cover is, of course, of a baseball card, but the design follows the style of the Topps 1965 card set with the team name in a pennant. The title "Milhouse" matches the style used in many sports logos, including the Major League baseball teams Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals. Milhouse himself however is in the style of Carl Yastrzemski's 1973 card, which is also accurately displayed within the story.

The statue of Jebediah Springfield is crying real tears and the true believers are making the pilgrimage to the holy site! Has divine intervention brought the spirit of Jebediah to the confused souls of Springfield? Or could a certain spiky-haired little devil have a hand (or a hose) in this?

PLUS! ADDED FEATURE!!! It's a brain-bending Bongo first - the debut of a new, non-Simpsons character in a special four part preview! Prepare yourself for something daringly different, outstandingly offbeat, and completely cool from Bongo's own Bill Morrison!
