Wall or Nothing |
|
Wall or Nothing is a Simpsons Comic story. In America and the UK it was released in Simpsons Comics #50. It was also featured in the book Simpsons Comics Royale.
Plot[]
The Lower Springfield Lake is closed for Upper Springfield's water use. At a town meeting, Lisa reveals that Upper and Lower Springfield were never reunited and are split due to a feud between Obadiah Springfield and Zechariah Springfield, Jebediah's two sons. Because of this, the town decides to split each other apart by building a wall. Lower Springfield is the side with water, and Upper is the more snooty side, which is out of water due to Homer wasting it on the other side. Also, Lower Springfield now has to substitute for locations that they are unable to reach, including school and church, but they feel a huge amount of self-importance due to Upper Springfield's struggle without any water.
Milhouse and Bart are stuck on opposites sides as Milhouse is staying with his dad, so Bart hosts a rescue mission, in which he is able to reach Milhouse by breaking through the wall with a bulldozer. After a brief skirmish between the two sides of Springfield, the town reunites, forgetting their old problems and the whole town goes skinny dipping to get the mud off of their clothing.
Cultural References[]
When Bart goes out to rescue Milhouse, Marge reminds him that he has not eaten his dinner. Homer than says "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?", one of the many thing said by the teacher at the end of "Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2" from Pink Floyd's album, "The Wall".
