Here
the main story is called New Year's Rockin' Evil where our Futurama
heroes
use a machine to see what would happen if they travelled back to 1999.
In Terminator fashion Leela finds herself naked outside Fry's school.
This provides the opportunity for several 'adult' jokes - one tarty girl
in the background says to her friend "I told you, Tina, we're wearin' way
too much if we want to get A's at this school."
Bender the sociopathic robot also finds himself back in 1999 and he's in a race to save Fry from the attractive yet deadly shape-changing Leela (alias the Bendernator). Along with this main story there's a double page time machine story.
The artwork is bold, fresh and colourful
and there are plenty of verbal and visual gags to make it worth a re-read
to catch all the little asides and details. The style of humour reminds
me of the old MAD
comics who were also prone to doing their own wacky versions of Hollywood
movies.
