Short Review: Not terrible.

This issue continues the tradition of taking a moral message, and pummeling us with it for a while. Not that there's anything wrong with that (the T.V. series does the same, and still manages to be the best thing on the box), but too often it seems happy to just throw a glance at a passing joke, rather than searching them out on a regular basis. Fortunately, this issue manages to strengthen its attack on scandalous memoirs with a few actually funny jokes, although it still goes for the easy joke on many occasions. The back up strip, Barney Gumble, is terrible.
