Bart’s line at the end is the perfect mix of funny and bleak. Lol he doesn’t love his dad and enjoy his company… but also, he knows that something is wrong. God how I miss this show.
Bart does love his dad, he just isn’t open about expressing it. And he knows they aren’t usually so lovey-dovey as a family, either, which tips him off something is wrong. Marge’s explanation doesn’t cut it for him.
