Simpsons Yeti



Delores alerts me to the following:

"The Simpsons Winter Wingding # 2" features yeti on the cover. The yeti is after Bart's bag of Pork Rinds.

Thanks, Dolores!

Finally, yeti has appeared with the Simpsons (and I observe the artists took a Rankin/Bass approach).

Bigfoot's been practically the star of that show since its beginning. In the seventh episode, Homer was mistaken as a sasquatch, and the Brown Beast has been mentioned over a dozen times over the years.

But the yeti? Hardly even acknowledged.

One did manhandle Homer in the episode "King of the Hill" during a dream sequence. But that's it.

So this appearance on the cover of an official comic book is historic.
