Simpsons Comics #160 (Nov 2009)
Feast Your Eyes On...
Join the Simpsons as they tell their slightly skewed and thoroughly twisted versions
of the world's most-beloved animal stories. Remember the tale of the spider that saved
a pig's life or the animal-themed board game that came to life or the elephant king and
his family, or the three pets on an incredible journey or the rabid dog or the animal
collective that lived on a farm? Well, they are all here in this issue,
and these stories will never be the same!
