Story
Milhouse 's father, Kirk, speaks to the children at Springfield Elementary School and talks about his position as an assistant distributor of air passengers. In connection with a boring speech, Director Skinner and Edna Crabapple ask Lisa to help them and visit the Springfield Oratory to find the best speaker. They find Jeff Jenkins, the creator of the popular television cartoon Dangerous Dog. He comes to school to talk more about The Dangerous Dog, and he also shows the children a passage from a special Easter edition. He captivates children by telling them about the production of the cartoon. To Skinner's great dismay, Jenkins tells his students how light his work is and how he never needs to work at work. Soon, each child at school creates his own comic, but they are all plagiarized by The Dangerous Dog. Bart also creates his own comic strip, The Dangerous Type (which is actually a dog) and tries to sell it to the Comic Book Seller , but he criticized his work. Then Stan Lee walked into the comic book store. After examining Bart’s comic strip, he also tells the boy that his comic strip is bad, but Bart shouldn’t be upset: he should try hard to “find his own voice”.
At home, Bart comes up with a character named Papa Zol, based on Homer and his frequent outbursts of rage. Bart releases the first issue of Papa Zol, which becomes a hit among children at school. But Liza, having read the comic, hated it and gives the “Evil Papa” for obvious plagiarism, saying that it is very offensive to their father in all respects. Then Bart decides to make an assistant character for the Evil Dad: a girl named Sister Know-it-all, based on Lisa and her intellect. Soon, Lisa softens (as soon as she receives the pony and the last line of the comic in the comic), and Bart creates even more episodes of “Evil Papa”. After reading these comics, the Comic Book Seller finds them very impressive and, to the delight of Bart, agrees to sell them.
At the time of signing the autographs in the school yard, a representative of an entertainment website approached Bart. He wants to make an online animated series on the Papa Zol comics and Bart agrees to collaborate in exchange for shares. Cartoon is becoming a hit on the Internet, becoming the most popular non-pornographic website of all time. The only one who does not yet know about the Evil Papa is Homer, who will find out about him one day at work, when Lenny , Karl , Smithers and Mr. Burns watch “Evil Papa”. At first, Homer finds the cartoon very funny, but he soon realizes that he looks exactly like Papa Zol and that the creator of the comic strip and the animated series is Bart, which means that Homer and Papa Zol are the same person. He is becoming the laughing stock of both the Internet and Springfield. During a trip home, the humiliated Homer stopped in a city whose residents are doing everything possible to anger Homer, as a result of which his hand got stuck in one of the car doors, causing Homer to moan in pain. As a result, the townspeople laugh even more at the poor man who has to run home on foot. Upon returning home, a furious Homer finds Bart and Milhouse laughing at the cartoon “Papa Zol” and strangles Bart for the humiliation received from his cartoons from the townspeople. In the end, Marge and Lisa stop Homer and calm him down. Although Lisa admits that she is not yet a fan of Bart's comics, she tells Dad that in order to solve her problems, she must learn to control anger. Homer agrees from now on to begin to suppress his anger. But when Marge insists that Homer also goes on a diet, he refuses, saying that he can only refuse anger, and not his favorite foods.
The next day, Homer remains true to his word and becomes calm, despite the difficulties in maintaining calm, since whenever aggravating situations arise, Homer tries to suppress his anger, as a result of which cones grow on his neck. Nevertheless, his new, calm behavior extinguishes Bart's inspiration for new cartoons, which is why Bart and Milhouse create a trap for Homer to trigger a new outburst of rage. Later they go to the office of the Internet company, where they find out that the company went bankrupt due to stock debts. Homer comes home and runs into Bart's trap, but he remains calm throughout the trap, which leads to even larger bumps on his neck. The trap ends with Homer falling into a pool full of green paint, which finally prompted him to go crazy and run around the city in a rage, causing great damage. The police catch him and Homer goes to the hospital.
At the hospital, Marge is angry with Bart for exacerbating Homer's anger because of his joke, because now they also need to pay $ 10 million for damages that Homer caused to the city due to the fury and swears that she will punish him for it. However, Dr. Hibbert denies the boy’s guilt by telling Marge that Bart actually saved Homer’s life by provoking his anger. He explains that the bumps on his neck were actually caused by anger and the suppression of anger would damage Homer’s nervous system if Bart’s joke didn't stop him. Hibbert convinces Marge that for this she should encourage her son, not punish her. Homer thanks Bart for taking him on a fishing trip where his son continues to anger his father, although this time Homer is trying to direct his anger for good.
