"Ch-choke -- A Hydrogen Bomb!", 19 November 2009
8/10
Author: Dan1863Sickles from Troy, NY

This early SIMPSONS classic shows a key component to Bart's power -- his loyalty to RADIOACTIVE MAN, and his sidekick FALLOUT BOY. This is a Marvel style comic featuring a mild-mannered scientist who transforms into a superhero thanks to a nuclear blast.

Great moments: Bart's "WONDER YEARS" flashback (with the Byrds' TURN TURN TURN in the background.) "I'd never felt so close to my father."

At the autograph show, Bart's wonderfully insolent disregard for polite conventions and Hollywood lies. "Does Troy McClure's ghost still haunt the Mexican bordello where his bullet-ridden body was found?"

The thing that would have improved this episode (aside from more COMIC BOOK GUY wisdom) would have been a spoof of TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE. In the Treehouse at the end, Bart should have done a full on impersonation of Fred C. Dobbs, fighting to keep his "stuff!"
