How to Secede Without Really Trying is the fifty-ninth comic issue, released 1 February, 2012 in the US.

The Story

When Mayor Poopenmeyer's reputation is tainted by corruption charges, Bender steps in and rehabilitates his image; but give the bending unit a little power and pretty soon New New York City is seceding from the planet. Then, frustrated by the high cost of eggs, Leela steals a few from some nearby owl nests, only to find herself and Planet Express at the mercy of some very angry birds!
