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!

Additional Info

Trivia

  • The title font of Futurama Comics and the Bongo Comics logo have been updated for the January, 2012 solicitation. The title fonts of Bongo's The Simpsons titles have also received updates. The new cover format appears to also lack title captions.
  • The quality of the paper used by Bongo Comics' printers has increased.

Continuity

Allusions

Goofs

  • Even though the previous issue featured Dick Cheney, the deceased Agnew is used in this issue.
  • The mutants are seen underground. This is an inversion of a common goof where, prior to "The Mutants Are Revolting", the mutants were seen above ground. It could be argued, however, that while the mutants are allowed on the surface, some do not intend or have yet to move above ground permanently.

Special Features

  • The Bongo Beat - review of the column's history.
  • Junk Mail
  • Seven Questions (more or less) with Ian Boothby.
