Simpsons Comics #62

Simpsons Comics #62 was published in September 2001 by Bongo Comics, the publishing house founded by Matt Groening in 1993 to expand the universe of The Simpsons beyond the television screen. This issue, like others in the long-running series, was produced to provide original, non-canonical stories that captured the satirical tone and vibrant aesthetic of the show, allowing the writers and artists more creative freedom than a televised script might permit.

The issue features artwork and writing consistent with the house style established by Bongo, which prioritized a clean, bold aesthetic meant to mimic the animation cels of the series while adhering to the conventions of the medium. The series was generally well-received by fans and critics of the time, serving as a successful bridge for readers who wanted more engagement with the characters between seasons. Like many issues in the run, its design relies on the iconic visual shorthand created by Groening and refined by his team of animators and illustrators.
