[Reverend Lovejoy]

Hey, Chief, do you reckon it was a coincidence?

And thanks for telling Ivan what the cover was. I would have, but I wasn't sure what the issue was called.

[Charlie]

Thanks, you've given me hope! Again, I'm sorry for blaming the writers, I really should try and remember these are reprints.

The what? But it is the writers you're supposed to blame, since they are the ones that put CBG in them (remember, above I said how you should blame the writers rather than all of Bongo). And the reprints thing has me puzzled; they're not reprints, since they're released exclusively for that country

The new picture for Treasure Trove is Uncle Burns, the one where Homer and co travel to find the gold with Mr. Burns.

Ugh, I thought that story was terrible.

[simplysimpsons]

I wish they'd publish all those strips that go into the newspapers into a 'treasure trove' issue. I haven't seen hardly any, and as I don't get the Times or whatever it's in I don't think I'll ever see them! (Although I did see one once, which I thought was good...) But unless they offer free posters or the price is really low, I probably won't be getting this.

And yeah, Uncle Burn$ was OK for a read, quite a few funny jokes.....but way too zany and silly to be taken seriously. (Yes, I got the parody, but still...)

Bongo probably wouldn't let Titan; Bongo themselves is having enough trouble as it is trying to put them into a trade paperback collection.

If you look on LETS, some of them are on there. Just if you're interested.

But you just said the writers don't interact with each other, so they probably don't know they're overusing CBG and others, so I can't blame them! I'm so confused...

I agree with you on the Uncle Burns story, although I did like that scene at the end (not the best, but the last few issues have helped me appreciate it more...)

[Charlie]

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I meant just blame the actual writer that included CBG (especially Boothby, he uses him in nearly every one of his stories).

Let me guess, because Lovejoy not only appears BUT he also speaks? x2

And remember, there's also a Simpsons Movie poster in the next US issue (#132).

I just read simpsons comics #131 and bart simpsons comics #36
i did not like simpsons comics #131. But bart simpsons comics #36 was ok.

[StupidHippo]

i thought 131 was pretty good i really liked the first manga story

[Charlie]

I'm going to Perth today, so I should be getting Simpsons #131, Bart #36, and hopefully Super Spectacular #5 (I'm pretty sure that one's just come out...)

[The Governor]

I just realized the lamp next to Lisa has no base...

Pfft...I can do better...Oh, wait, probalby not. :-$

Ivan, I read your PM and I DO at some point want to work for Bongo, I think that my drawings aren't good enough to be commercial.

Just got the new UK Treasure Trove release and the biggest suprise is the size of this thing - it's tiny !.
Its about 3/4 the height of a USA comic and about 1/2 an inch less wide.
Very suprised by this as the UK comics are normally much bigger than the USA ones.
Its got 68 pages and features the following stories/features :-
Uncle Burns
Bartmans 1001 costumes
Itchy and Scratchy in 'Kill-er-up'
Baloon Payment
Bart Fink and the mighty Mississip

It also comes with a free classic quotes poster (seperate not stapled in) and costs £2.50.
The next issue is on sale 6th Sep.
Also looks like th UK is getting its own Summer Shindig release on 9th Aug.

[homer2121]

I just read bart simpsons comics #35 and it was better than bart simpsons comics #36.

[CMYK]

simpsons comics disgust me. They quality is sad.
I only get the Simpson and Futurama cross over comics. Or the Tree house of horror ones.
I like the fact of all the different artists works.,

[Chief Simpson]

Latest UK Ratings:

'The Flunky': 6.5/10. Had a good start, but Burns seemed....stupid. Didn't really like the end.

'Treasure Trove' 7/10. Pretty good, but was kinda...lame.

[Charlie]

Its about 3/4 the height of a USA comic and about 1/2 an inch less wide.

A lot of the Australian releases - namely Bart Simpson, the season specials (ie: Winter Wing Ding), Simpsons Classics and our THOH and Crossover reprints are all printed in that size.

Anyway, I got Simpsons #131 and Bart #36...I thought the Bart one was great. The Simpsons one was pretty good, but it could have been better. I was also going to pick up THOH Hoodoo Voodoo Brouhaha, but decided I'd get it next time.

[Kiyosuki]

Yeah I finally checked out 36 too and it was pretty damn good. Kinda more pleasant than funny generally, but the stories had a very earthy and almost s.3-4 feel mixed with some later qualities of the show. Its earthiness was the most surprising thing, it was a very down to earth issue wasn't it? Very little if any zaniness. The one unintentional chuckle from me came from the fact that Jasper kinda looks like he's stalking whats-her-face when the old guys and Bart teach her a lesson. lol But it was all good, the old guys were fun, Milhouse fell into a mail box twice, Martin pulled a tl; dr, and apparently Ralph is the prophet of an ancient tribe.

I guess that grey haired kid with the blue jacket who's name escapes me is really really popular.

Richard?

[Kiyosuki]

Richard?

Yeah, there you go.

He's booked until 8th grade, which in the Simpsons universe may mean eternity.

[Charlie]

I'm actually really surprised at your opinion on the latest Bart issue, mainly since three of the four stories were written by Mary Trainor..."Simpson Family Robinson Crusoe" anyone

[Kiyosuki]

Is it really surprising? Just because she wrote that, that doesn't suddenly mean everything she has to do sucks. All I know is whats in front of me and it was a pretty good issue.

[homer2121]

Is simpsons comics #132 out today?

[Matt B.]

Yeah I just got it today.

[Charlie]

Yeah it as surprising...especially when your rant on Simpson Family was basically saying 'it suuuuucked' over and over
