Simpsons Comics #133 Simpsons Comics #133  (Aug 2007)
   The Weight is Over!

When we last saw Mr. Burns, he was desperate and destitute in a foreign land, while an imposter squandered his fortune at home. In the conclusion to the epic two-part tale "A Brand New Burns," we could say that the results are SENSES-SHATTERING, that this story WILL AFFECT THE BONGO UNIVERSE FOR YEARS TO COME, or that THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN for the Simpsons--but just like every episode you've ever seen, things pretty much return to normal at the end. However, GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN!

Simpsons Comics #134 Simpsons Comics #134  (Sep 2007)
   Hot Flab in the Summertime!

Homer saves the day and his friends during a work-related cruise by proving to be "unsinkable." Then Mr. Burns, looking for a way to assure the public that the Springfield Channel (his personal nuclear waste dumping site) is perfectly safe, tricks Homer into swimming the channel as a publicity stunt. But what's a dip in the water without a little childhood trauma and a killer whale out to settle an old score.

Simpsons Comics #135 Jaws

While this cover is probably the second most obvious parody they've had on a Simpson cover a side by side comparison shows how closely they matched the classic Jaws movie poster.

After being booted from the Pin Pals for conduct unbecoming a bowler, Homer finds himself as the newest member of Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney's street bowling team.

Homer is the last FAT man. After a nuclear plant accident forces a radioactive cloud into the atmosphere, Homer finds himself alone and still quite oversized in a very different and much more slender city. What is the secret behind his morbid obesity? Water retention? Big bones? A secret stash of pork rinds? Whatever it is, Homer may be humanity's last link to the fat gene and Springfield's last chance to avoid wasting away to skin and bones.
