The Story

Act I

The Planet Express crew are delivering Simpsons Comics to the Geek-e-Galaxy to be sealed in liquid diamond forever. While there they find the Brain Spawn who are planning to collect comics so no-one can read them again and will move on to other literature which will reduce the I.Q. of Earth so they can invade. The Brain Spawn bring the rest of Planet Express and Nibbler to the planet and the whole crew is trapped in a Simpsons Comic. Everyone has amnesia and wanders off except Fry and Nibbler.

Act II

Bender heads into Moes where he gets in a fight with Homer Simpson and later make friends. Fry poses as the substitute teacher for Bart Simpson’s class and tries to explain everything to him but Bart doesn’t believe Fry and has him locked in the school at the end of the day. Lisa Simpson is bullied at school but Leela beats up the bullies for her. Zoidberg and Hermes are in the Nuclear power plant and Mr. Burns mistakes Zoidberg for a mutant and offers him dinner so he isn’t sued. Professor Farnsworth makes an image of a woman in the traffic lights which causes several crashes and he is sent to the Springfield Retirement home. Marge Simpson spots nibbler who disguises himself as a baby but Marge gives him milk which makes him lose his memory...
