Bongo's annual, oversized, 96-page comic is bursting at the reams with laughs galore! There's a new comic convention coming to Springfield, and it's Homer who's going bananas over the chance to meet his favorite, primetime, primate TV star -- Christmas Ape! Then Bart pulls a prank on the entire town and discovers that the people he punked can be a lot more forgiving than he ever imagined, and now he has them right where he wants them. Suckers! And who is Bartman? Find out who the students of Springfield Elementary think he really is. And Waylon Smithers, Mr. Burns' long-suffering, lovestruck sycophant, is about to turn the tables on his longtime companion and employer with a brand-new take charge attitude. (Oh, did we forget to mention, he gets struck by lightning?) And The Simpsons of Springfield come face to face with their doppelgangers, The Simpkins from Capital City. Then Bart and Milhouse find their treehouse overrun by intelligent primates. Finally, a Zombienado strikes Springfield!
