Catch a wave of good humor and hang ten with the Simpsons in their newest, gnarliest comic collection: Simpsons Comics Beach Blanket Bongo. Homer, Lenny, and Carl think they will be living the sweet life when they all opt for Mr. Burns’ early retirement plan, but their former boss’ tropical island retirement community turns out to be for the birds… literally! Bart meets a reclusive B-movie director who announces that his collection of horror, science fiction, and Radioactive Man memorabilia is up for grabs, and every geek, nerd, and dweeb in town sets out on a quest to get their sweaty little hands on it. Krusty the Clown becomes Springfield’s newest doctor, and it's not long before he has the town in stitches while delivering big laughs. Principal Skinner takes you into the inner sanctum of Springfield Elementary to reveal untold tales of the Permanent Record File! Bart’s arch nemesis, a now surgically altered Sideshow Bob, is released from prison, and Bart must figure out which newly arrived citizen is really Bob in disguise. Then, not to be outdone, Sideshow Bob’s brother Cecil arrives on the scene with revenge on his mind and a grudge against… Lisa Simpson. So sit down by the seashore and slather on the right amount of SPF* to prevent you from being over done by the fun.
