Need a lift or a laugh? Help is on the way! When Bart attempts his most elaborate practical joke ever, he becomes an Internet sensation with a little help from his friends, about 15 million of them. Then join Bart on an incredulous journey when a monster firecracker leaves him both deaf and dumbfounded.

And find out who's defacing every billboard in town by drawing mustaches on them. If it's not El Barto, who is it?

SPONGEBOB COMICS #31
Written by Joey Weiser, Chuck Dixon, art by Vincent DePorter, Ramona Fradon, cover by Gregg Schigiel.
After staying up past their bedtimes, SpongeBob and Patrick vow to go for it and stay up All Night. Their mission, to become "Kings of Night" --รณ and the nocturnal antics that ensue are worth donning those night-vision goggles you've been sitting on. Then, Silver Age legend Ramona Fradon (Plastic Man, Metamorpho) joins with Batman scribe Chuck Dixon to weave a tale of Mermaid Man's run in with true love, in a story we could only call "The Lovely Lure of Lady Mackeral." Also in this issue: SpongeBob tries out different shapes to improve business at the Krusty Krabb, and poker-playing Pirates try out a new deck of SpongeBob-themed cards. All this plus "SpongeFunnies" by James Kochalka (Dragon Puncher), tidal trivia by Maris Wicks (Primates), and a back cover by Eleanor Davis (The Secret Science Alliance)!
