Comic Information Genre: Sci-fi First appearance: More Bongos That Time Forgot

Milhouse Reluctant Robot Rassler 4000 A.D. is a sci-fi comic starring Milhouse Van Houten.

Description

"Han Solo. Shane. That guy Kevin Costner played in "Waterworld". If there's one thing America loves (besides a 40% crunchier bucket of fried chicken) it's the reluctant hero. And who in Springfield exemplifies reluctance and hesitation more than the semi-lovable loser, Milhouse Van Houten. The idea seemed solid enough; send Milhouse two thousand years into the future to fight evil robots enslaving humanity. But there was a problem we didn't consider. Milhouse is a complete "nancy-boy". Sales reports soon showed that, in the future, no one can hear you whine without getting really annoyed."

Behind the Laughter

The description of the comic mentions Han Solo from Star Wars, Shane from Shane, and Kevin Costner from Waterworld. The final line "in the future, no one can hear you whine without getting really annoyed.", is a reference to the tagline of the film Alien, "in space, no one can hear you scream".
