Simpsons Comics #31  (June 1997) Homer Simpson IS Radioactive Man! At least, that's what he thinks after contracting a nasty case of amnesia en route to a costume party.

The McBeans Coffee logo on the coffee cup on the cover is an obvious parody of the Starbucks logo, with Lisa and a pair of saxophones serving as the Siren and her flowing hair and twin tails. The Bongo solicitation for this issue is in keeping with the issue theme and is hence in the form of a poem; a terrible poem perhaps, but nonetheless a poem, and not as bad as my summary above; What's this going on in the heart of Springfield town? Why it's McBean's coffeehouse nearly shut down! From a lack of business, commerce, and ching - Until they realize Lisa Simpson's got just the thing To bring in the patrons, the customers, the joes To fill up the place 'til they need more rows! A poetry night to trade spoken verse Until things suddenly go from pretty good to worse Moe the bartender wants back the drunks He's lost to the taste of McBean's biscotti dunks. And then there's Martin Prince once more, Who's eager to join Moe in settling the score. You see Martin has felt his heart filleted By the smartest girl in the second grade. Lisa, she didn't accept Martin's date, And now his love has turned from dislike to hate. And he's going to get her back the best way he cans By holding his own poet night at Moe's and stealing her fans. So now it's Lisa and Krusty and Troy and McBain Against Moe and Martin--our prediction? Pain.

Comforted only by the vague and strangely absurd recollections of days gone by, not to mention the cabbage soup he had for lunch, forgotten by his family, and forsaken by time, his is a voice crying out in the darkness.

Proving that the spray can is mightier than the sword our erstwhile Zorro sets out to leave no building unmarked with his protests.
