I thought you were going to share the one where Bart Martin and Milhouse team up to buy a rare “radioactive man”. It goes badly

I’d forgotten about prank monkey Homer.

I was thinking of the "perma-mint condition" issue of Radioactive Man. Spilled drinks fly off harmlessly onto lesser comics: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mqe21Up4Vmo&t=14s

Funny that the fictitious comic is spilling into a “lesser” real comic by Matt Groening (creator of the Simpsons).

Why did he do that?

In that episode a bored Mr. Burns hires Homer as his „prank monkey”, paying him with loose cash to play cruel pranks on others and humiliate himself. Homer eventually regains his dignity after refusing to ruin the Thanksgiving day parade, even for a million dollars.

Ahh thank you.
