Down in the Dumps is a comic story featured in The Simpsons Summer Shindig 2. It has since been reprinted in Simpsons Comics Supernova.
Plot
Bart has messed up his room, meaning he can't find his Extreme Raging Radioactive Man's Isotopium-X Half-Life Blaster for his Radioactive Man doll, and realizes too late that Marge has thrown it. Bart thinks about buying a new one but it turns out that it is sold out everywhere. When Bart is at the comic book store he hears on the news that the company is now taking back the product, meaning the product is now valuable and decides to visit the dump with Milhouse and Martin. They start looking in the trash and can not find the product, but meet people who are homeless and live there, and they explain how they do this. When Bart tells them what they are looking for, Mr. Hoffa tells that somewhere in the dump there is a treasure that is 60 or 70 years old, but no one has found it. Bart decides to look for it with Milhouse and Martin.
They are looking for hours and get mad when they can not find the treasure. They become hungry and dirty, and the gulls poop down on them before they find a tunnel to shelter in. They go into it and at the end, they find the treasure. Milhouse and Bart begin to fight, as Bart wants 50% of the treasure, but they get interrupted by Comic Book Guy, who followed them after they asked him if he had the blaster. He says that he wants the toy, and now he also wants 50% of the treasure. They are interrupted by Martin, who says he wants the whole treasure and is holding a Buck Rogers Sparking Ray Gun. Martin fires it, setting the entire treasure on fire and causing everyone to flee from the fire.
Bart is now home and Marge yells at him for being at the dump, and Bart finds out that Homer has taken care of his blaster - it was not thrown. Bart then goes to play with his Radioactive Man, but Marge tells him that after the recall she has thrown it away. Homer then tells Bart to look, in the trash, but he didn't do it as he was yelling.
