  John Costanza and Phyllis Novin make this Yule-tide yarn spectacular. The adventure involves a multitude of cast members. Costanza keeps them sight gag funny and distinct. Each of the joke players exhibit unique visual characterization. For instance, observe Apu's desperation, Groundskeeper Willie's cantankerousness and Bart's sly looks as enhanced by Novin's precision inking. Costanza and Novin also create a winter wonderland backdrop and Villanueva shakes down the rainbow for its colors, vibrant and varied in every scene. Simpsons Comics is the perfect stocking stuffer especially for those not that crazy about the impending holiday. Read Full Review
