The Simpsons Futurama Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis

First published as two two-part, comic book mini-series, these hard-to-find comics are collected together for the first time in a hardcover collection, encased in a die-cut slipcase, and packaged with a reprint of the Eisner Award-winning issue of "Simpsons Comics."

This unconventional and lighthearted introduction to the ideas of the major Western philosophers examines The Simpsons — TV’s favorite animated family. The authors look beyond the jokes, the crudeness, the attacks on society — and see a clever display of irony, social criticism, and philosophical thought. The writers begin with an examination of the characters. Does Homer actually display Aristotle’s virtues of character? In what way does Bart exemplify American pragmatism? The book also examines the ethics and themes of the show, and concludes with discussions of how the series reflects the work of Aristotle, Marx, Camus, Sartre, and other thinkers.

Presents a collection of "Calvin and Hobbes" cartoons.

"Bart starts his own humor magazine and it isn't long before Springfield's resident funnyman Krusty the Clown wants in on the business. Then, donut-lovers Homer Simpson and Chief Clancy Wiggum take over each other's deliciously do-nothing jobs. And speaking of switcheroos, Bart boards the wrong airplane and finds himself mistaken for a local Springshire lad, Brit Simpson. Throw in an alien abduction, a cosmic trip to an alternate reality, a contentious bar war, a ghostly superhero pairing, and a rescue mission beneath the nuclear power plant, and you have the most colossal compendium yet. And make that dream of a personal home theater a reality with your own scale model of Springfield's classic movie house, the Aztec Theater"--Page 4 of cover.
