First Aired 2/25/90
Cornered at the town square by a pitchfork and torch-wielding mob, Bart tells the rioting townspeople the story of how he stole the head of town founder Jebediah Springfield to impress some local thugs, Dolph, Jimbo Jones, and Kearney.
This episode contains examples of:
- Innocuously Important Episode: This is the first appearance of Sideshow Bob (though his design is way off).
- Deleted Scene: The TV version of this episode has an extra scene where Bart explains to the townspeople that they've lost their way as Springfieldianites by being so quick to lynch a ten-year-old boy who actually feels sorry for what he's donenote yet those same townspeople would feel little to no remorse for Bart losing a championship baseball game in "The Boys of Bummer". The DVD version doesn't have this scene, and according to Word Of God, the TV-exclusive scene was shoehorned in due to Executive Meddling.
