The posters are occasionally double-sided, with more artwork on the back, but when just one-sided contain adverts on the back.

| | | | |
| − | * '''The Simpsons Comic Strips''' - were comic strips that ran in the [[UK]] newspaper ''{{W|The Times}}'' from January [[1999]] and soon in several [[United States]] newspapers. The comics strips ranged from short stories to fake ads, from movie poster parodies to school survival techniques, ''Simpsons''-style horoscopes and a placemat from a [[Krusty Burger]] restaurant. The comic strips were created years before their publication in newspapers, and it seems most likely that these comic strips were planned to appear in issues of ''[[Simpsons Comics]]''. Several strips were planned to be released in ''[[The Simpsons Comic Strip Cavalcade]]'', to be released in June [[2004]], before the strips stopped running in newspapers, but the book was never released. 80 comic strips are known to have run in newspapers, with some known to have run in UK issues of ''[[Simpsons Comics in the UK|Simpsons Comics]]'', one being ''The Unpossible World of Ralph Wiggum''between January 2011 and December 2011.
