After Bart loses his last baby tooth, he feels grown up. He starts writing t-shirts to express his newfound cynicism. His line of shirts is picked up by an eccentric Wonka-esque guy. Homer leaves his job at the power plant to live off of Bart's income. Since Homer's role has been changed, he hangs out with Lisa, turning his scale model of a power plant into a working model.
This episode is a bit aimless, but very enjoyable. Bart's shirts are great. My favorite bit is his fantasies involving his Sgt. Activity figures and insurance coverage.
I don't think there's a deeper message to the story, and it certainly isn't especially touching. But it's solid, paced well, and has plenty of funny moments.
