The Simpsons -- "Husbands And Knives" -- 11/18/07
Wonder if Marge owning the gyms will be a continuity thing.

As a comic fan, I liked it parts of it, but no resolution on the gym thing and Comic Book Guy closing down his shop was kind of lame.

Wow, the lost girls poster in back of Moore was strange. If you aren't much of a comic reader, Lost Girls is pretty much a porn.
It was also strange to see Meltdown comics turned into a cartoon.

I loved the "For Rent" poster in Comic Book Guy's store after he closed. It was real "Spider-man No More" looking.
And Jack Black's girlfriend "My purse is a lunchbox!"
I don't mind they didn't resolve Marge's success at the end, they can still pretend it never happend by the next episode, or simply explain the whole thing away in a sentence.

I'd be shocked if Marge owning a gym is ever brought up again. The comic book stuff seemed to be aimed at the very serious collector. I can't imagine the average person has ever heard of these guys (FYI I know who they are). Episode was good, but not great.

Even if they heard the name (and I think very few pay attention to things like that) they wouldn't know anything about it.
Still, I don't think this was any worse than the book fair, or Moe's poetry episodes and their inside jokes.

You are right, the only person I knew was Jack Black.

I liked the Comic Book plot a lot. I remember seeing that Maus comic book way back in the mid - late 80's.
The episode seemed to flow better than previous episodes (who wrote this one?)
I too hope they resolve where the Comic Book guy went to, and what ever became of the gym..
No harm in having the story continue for a couple of episodes before Homer does something, that brings on a law suit and they loose the $ and the business
