The Simpsons fans are creating their own webcomics

"The Simpsons actually had its own comics, published from 1993 to 2012, which were based on the sitcom," says Cass Marshall. "Fan comics, however, give artists the creative license to imagine their favorite characters in situations that the official media can’t or won’t depict. Panic Volkushka is the artist who created Couples’ Therapy, a comic where Bart Simpson and Family Guy’s Chris Griffin are working together to maintain a romantic relationship despite the abuse inflicted upon them by their fathers. Springfight! is another fan comic that takes a critical look at the legacy of Homer Simpson, but combines it with a love letter to the show’s classic run. The comic starts with a very Simpsons premise: Mr. Burns is leaving his wealth to whoever can best the rest of Springfield in a massive tournament. Homer takes the lead early on, but his family life has crumbled as a result, and the Simpsons have to navigate the scenario together." ALSO: Read an oral history of "Everything's Coming Up Millhouse."
