The Simpsons Summer Shindig
(Bongo, 2007-2015)
© & ™ 2007 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
The Simpsons phenomenon goes on and on. With the successful two decade run of the hit TV show, a hit movie and numerous toys, books and comic books, there seems to be no end in sight to what was initially conceived of a filler segment for the Tracey Ullman Show. Summer Shindig is an all-new collection of stories with a summer theme, which proves once again that The Simpsons well, is far from running dry. What was originally conceived of as a fad, has now achieved iconic status.
— Mark Arnold
48 pages of yellow-hued hijinx about Simpsony summer delights by writers Chris yambor, Mary Trainor and Tony Digerolamo, along with too many pencilers and inkers to list, but all of whom stick to the house style of comedy and cartooning. Tales like Bart running amok at a country fair or a clever, wordless sequence showing the little nuisance suffering from insomnia typify the contents.
