Cool Hand Bart is a comic story featured in Simpsons Comics #2. It has been reprinted in The Best of The Simpsons #1.
Plot
The second Simpsons Comic features the return of Sideshow Bob. Bart, Nelson, Jimbo, Dolph, Kearny and Milhouse attend a seminar, called "Scared Spitless", which is held in Springfield State Prison and intended to scare troublemaking kids into shaping up. Snake explains what prison life is like; then Chief Wiggum decides that all the kids attending the seminar should spend an hour in an actual prison cell.
Bart and Milhouse are put in Bob's cell, and to avoid being killed, Bart climbs through the bars and into a van. The van winds up in a workcamp, where Bart is chained up with Bob. Bob escapes with Bart, and Bart leaps onto a moving train. Until Bob is able to get onto the train himself, he is left bouncing on his end of the chain, repeatedly hitting his head on the ground. Soon, however, Bob climbs aboard and advances on Bart with murderous intent.
Just as Sideshow Bob is about to kill Bart, Bart points out that Bob would have to drag his corpse around, because they are chained together. Postponing his plan to kill Bart, Bob walks through the swamp while Bart follows until they reach a hacksaw sale. They go in, but Bob is forced to hide his hair in a hat to keep from being noticed and identified. They realize that Wiggum is at the sale, and Bart sucks Bob's hat off with a vacuum cleaner, revealing Bob to the police. Finally, Bob is arrested and Bart goes home safe.
