While The Simpsons usually spoof TV and movies on their show, the comic series tends to spoof it's own medium. Take this tale for example. It does a good job of parodying the established conventions of both Marvel and DC, concerning crossovers and alternate realities, while still staying true to the spirit of the Simpsons series. Even if you don't get a lot of the inside jokes, it's easily accessible to casual readers.
If you're not a steady reader of any Bongo titles, I'd highly recommend that you try out a few issues here and there. It's always a good idea to just relax and have a laugh, right?
