Return of the Killer Robots

A reader says of Killer Robots from Space: "Is it just me, or are at least half of those comics funnier if you don't scroll at all?"

I suppose it depends on how wide your browser is. I set mine to just show the first two panels, and you know, it reads a lot like Overheard in New York.

Everything You Know Is Wrong

Readers -- two of them -- have written in to tell me that there is a "Weird Al" Tribute Album at the Web site of Zelda and the Unibrows. The downside is that it's not the star-studded disc I had envisioned. The upside is the whole thing is available for download in family-friendly MP3 format. I haven't listened to it yet, but I will as soon as it's vaguely convenient.
