MORRISON MONDAYS!
By BILL MORRISON
We’re in the thick of comics convention season, and I’ve been hitting my fair share of cons from MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, to Planet Comicon in Kansas City, to Astronomicon in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This past weekend I was a guest at GalaxyCon in Oklahoma City, and while working in my hotel room on this column, I realized that we were approaching the 49th anniversary of the release of Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope) which is today!
So, in celebration of George Lucas’s phenomenal, world-changing science fiction masterpiece, I thought I’d share a convention sketch that casts Homer Simpson as Darth Vader and shows how he would express his frustration with Bart when in possession of the power of the Force.

I was at MegaCon. I attended the Thursday opening night. I was there to get a picture with William Shatner. Sorry I missed you at your table, Bill.
