Comic Information
|
Angels with Yellow Faces is a comic story featured in Simpsons Comics 46. The comic later got reprinted in Simpsons Comics Madness and Simpsons Classics 24.
Plot
Sideshow Bob is free and he begins training Jimbo, Nelson, Dolph and Kearney to become the master criminals. Chief Wiggum forces Bart to join Sideshow Bob's program.
After rendering the warden unconscious during a prison riot so, 'he wouldn't have to witness the violence,' Bob is a free, 'compassionate,' man. Problem is, his lawyer, (who was napping throughout the court session,) is demanding 10, 000 dollars, which is to be paid within seven days. Bob is skeptical of how he's going to get his hands on that kind of money.
In the Quick-E-Mart, Apu has his hands up at the sight of a Zagnut bar, claiming he doesn't have ten-thousand, but Bob is free to ransack the register and keep whatever he finds. Bob insists he was only asking if Apu could loan ten-thousand.
Outside, Bob has a Squishee and a copy of the, 'Medical Literature Today.' He says it's wonderful to be free again, despite his underfunds. He contemplates on how he should build his life anew, but he has no money to do so. This leads to thoughts of possible careers. For example, working at a Drive-thru in a restaurant, but he deems it not to be, since he should find a job worthy of, '[his] intellectual acumen.' He then wonders if being a street performer could sustain his refined tastes. That imagination, however, is ruined by an incoming tomato from Comic Book Guy, who comments on Bob's impression of, 'The Mighty Thor during his epic battle with Hela,' stating it was astoundingly bad, (when Robert was merely reciting Shakespeare,).
Mildly depressed, Bob realizes he will never find any honest work befitting him with his education and refinement. He knows he can't go back to a life of crime, but then Agnes walks past, with a purse brimmed with money, or, rather, popping out of it. Bob comments on how she's practically begging for someone to steal her purse, and tries to restrain himself, until Chief Wiggum shows up. The chief says Bob might as well, 'put the kibosh,' on whatever diabolical scheme he's cooking up. Despite Bob's claims of how he's reformed, Wiggum insists he will be keeping an eye on him every minute of every day... until he spots a sign promoting coffee, which declares it is on sale. Robert now knows that any attempt he makes to go straight will fail, and he silently thanks the Chief for showing him that, which leads him to resume his old ways. Oh, and the Squishee is awfully refreshing too.
The following day, Bob arrives, disguised, at a bank, and prepares to start a stick-up, until Lou cuts in about how Bob shouldn't fall for the bank attendant's bogus, 'free checking,' deal. Lou states it's as free as Tibetan in Japan, but Robert replies, 'That's China, you idiot.' The officer overhears that, and then asks what was said, and Bob regains himself, (realizing he was speaking to the police,) stating how he'd feel like an idiot if he opened an account at any bank that didn't give away free China. Later on, he moves his crime spree elsewhere, to, 'Jim's Genuine Gems and Cheap Imitations,' only to find Chief Wiggum inside, buying an anniversary gift. D'ohing, he goes somewhere else, ending up dressed a surgeon-like outfit, attempting to disassemble a parking meter. A rather buff man stands behind him, and Bob asks who he's supposed to be. Apparently, he's a rogue cop in the wrong place at the wrong time. Realizing that cops are basically following him everywhere, Robert gives up on trying to take the parking meter apart.
A while later, he thinks over his problem of finding money, only to be pushed past deliberately by Nelson, Jimbo, and Dolph, who plan to steal his wallet while Kearney observes. Bob catches them in the act, and says he knows a guy who served time with another guy who invented that technique. He asks them if they know who he is. Kearney responds to the others that he thinks that's his dentist due to Bob's appearance. Bob declares his name and the fact he tried to murder Bart Simpson, and the others seem to regard him as an idol after that; Dolph asks him to teach them his ways, but Bob rejects that, telling them not to be like him, but to lead, 'a life of nobility, kindness, and humanity.' Nelson says they'll pass on that motion, but thanks him anyway. A billboard seems to be, 'speaking,' to Bob, the small one about business loans, which is beside the big one with clear, white letters of, 'GO STRAIGHT,' whilst one of the men plastering that billboard shouts at the other about how it supposed to be ALL black.
