All ages comics and manga for 11/18/09

A week before Thanksgiving, and the list is on the short side this week.  Boom! Studios has more Disney goodness to share, including one of my picks for the holidays.  Bongo Comics lets the Simpsons run wild through well known stories featuring animals.  It’s a twisted dose of animal literature!  DC and Image Comics also gives you your dose of superhero comics for kids, and it’s a special celebration for a classic kids comics icon as my second pick.
