Goofs

 * In one panel Moe's Tavern is seen right beside the Aztec Theater, and just across the street from The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop. Both Moe's and the Android's Dungeon have different appearances: Moe's is more fancy looking and the bar name is above the roof. The Android's Dungeon has a fake spaceship stuck above the window, with the store's name on it, and a large dragon sitting on the roof.
 * However, this may be an indication that the events during the Fish Log escapade took place sometime shortly after what is considered to be the present day in the Simpsons universe, especially since renovation work is shown to be taking place.
