{{TB|When looking through comics at the [[Android's Dungeon]], Bart came across ''[[Death of Superman]]'' and ''[[Death of Aquaman]]''. The first comic book is a real-life ''Superman'' title. As Comic Book Guy discovers there's another comics store across the street he exclaims: "This cannot be. It's as if [[Superman]] would move to Gotham City". [[Martin Prince, Jr.]] then points out this comic book actually exists, but Comic Book Guy replies it was just a dream sequence which never happened. When Bart points out that "none of these things ever really happened" Comic Book Guy tells him to leave his store. When Lisa talks with {{Ch|Daniel Clowes}} how much she liked ''Ghost World'' he tells her that he would rather draw ''Batman'' comics and starts talking about his utility belt, much to Lisa's disinterest. [[Milhouse]] shows {{Ch|Alan Moore}} a copy of ''[[Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation]]'' - a juvenile spin-off of ''Watchmen'' and ''V for Vendetta'' - and asks him to sign it, which outrages him, in reference to his real-life dissatisfaction about media adaptations of his own work. Later when [[Art Spiegelman]], [[Daniel Clowes]] and [[Alan Moore]] fight onomatopeia flash at the screen, just like in the ''[[Batman]]'' TV series.}}
