This flipbook-format issue of Simpsons Comics features two distinct stories.

Story #1: "It's In The Cards"
Homer Simpson visits a mysterious fortune-teller who warns him of impending doom. Becoming obsessed with the idea that he’s cursed, Homer starts seeing every minor setback as proof of his doomed fate. His paranoia spirals, affecting his family, work, and friends — but it soon becomes clear that Homer’s own behavior is the real problem, not any prophecy.
The story is a humorous exploration of superstition, self-sabotage, and the comedy of irrational fear.


Story #2 (Flipbook Side): Busman Short Story
In this backup feature, Busman finds himself caught in a chain of absurd, slapstick misfortunes — involving pie mishaps, cartoon-style injuries, and over-the-top visual gags. The tone is pure Looney Tunes-style comedy, delivering short, sharp laughs with little dialogue and lots of impact.
This feature emphasizes physical humor and classic cartoon tropes.
