Imagine the Simpsons movie humor in paragraph form with no pictures to supplement the humor.

"Homer stared, horrified, at the rock rushing to meet him. He tried in vain to struggle free, but the rope was going too fast! He hit the rock with an anguished "DOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!"."

Nah. Doesn't work.

Simpsons isn't really the kind of show to have a novelization of.

Agreed. Much of the The Simpsons humor is visual. Take that away and half of the appeal of the story is lost. It would be like trying to do a novelization of Looney Tunes, Ed, Edd 'N' Eddy or Chowder.

I had a Looney Tunes, well, it wasn't a novel but it was a prose book, when I was a kid. It had pictures on one side and a little flipbook in the corners, but there was a prose story. This kind of book was called a Big Little Book.

As a kid I read one of those little books with a gold binder in the dentist's office. It was about Bugs Bunny trying to hide from Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam or someone and he hid in the dentist's office. I think it was trying to educate kids about dental health.

That was just a picture book, though, right? Those are a different thing, I think, and they still sell those. They're called Little Golden Books. Many, many children have read the Poky Little Puppy or The Little Red Hen in one of these, and I've bought them for my nieces and nephews. They made lots of licensed ones, too, though.

Big Little Books are like thick, pocket-sized books.

Both were a big part of my bookworm childhood, though.

Edit:

I'm pretty sure this was the Bugs Bunny book I had, but it has been more than 20 years.
