Review of
Simpsons
Comics Simpsorama, published by Matt Groening ISBN

Five out of five stars
While the
Simpsons animated show is extremely popular and has lasted a long time, the
humor is not for everyone. At times simply stupid and at other times cerebral,
there is real genius in the show. It has been on for 30 seasons, fortunately
for the producers, cartoon characters can be altered in appearance, but they
never really have to age. It is a tribute to the people that create the show
that they have been able to keep it sharp and topical for this length of time.
Of course, it helps that reality continues to feed them humorous situations
that are ripe for appearing on this show.
Although this
comic form of stories involving this famous family do not have the same impact
that the visual form has, reading them will inform you whether you will find
the humor in the show to your taste. In some ways the humor comes across as a
bit more bizarre in print, at least to me. It is a work of true genius.
