Children Off the Cob is a Bart Simpson Comics story from Bart Simpson Comics 49.
Synopsis[]
A new kid from Kansas starts a corn growing craze among the students of Springfield Elementary.
Plot[]
Bart notices a new student at school one day. Milhouse recognizes him as Ethan All, a transfer from Kansas. Ethan introduces Springfield Elementary's students to corn growing and it's benefits, such as renewable fuel and money, which captures Lisa's approval and the other student's attention. Ethan begins handing out packets of corn seeds for the kids to plant for themselves.
Soon, every child in Springfield begins growing corn, with them beginning to grow their plants in their back and front yards and neighbor's yards as well. However, their love begins to turn into worship as Ethan manipulates them into a cult-like state. Eventually, every space of grass in Springfield is covered in cornfield. During one baseball game, an outfielder stumbles into the massive cornfield and discovers Ethan commanding the children except for Bart and Lisa, who are all in a zombified state of corn worship. The brainwashed youth then proceed to chase the terrified outfielder. Bart and Lisa notice the cult-like state of the children and confront Ethan, who orders the other kids to imprison them in a corn silo.
Meanwhile, Homer takes notice of all the corn and stumbles upon Ethan's cult. Ethan spots him and orders a sacrifice of him boiled in a vat of steamed creamed corn. Bart and Lisa, seeing their father about to be boiled alive escape the silo. Bart reveals that he's figured out how to snap the kids out of it - destroy the corn field.
With the help of Groundskeeper Willie, the cornfield is mowed down, just in time for Homer to be freed. The Springfield youth are freed from the corn and Ethan All's control......except for Milhouse, who is still zombified by one free standing cornstalk.
