Zombies -are- a fairly popular meme these days, aren't they?

Have you seen Zombies Calling, the new short-run webcomic by the creator of Demonology 101?

No, I haven’t, but I will happily check it out. Thanks.

And now I have been earwormed with Bob Geldof singing "This is the zombies calling." Drat.

That's really funny, 'cause I instantly heard Joe Strummer singing, "Zombies calling, to the faraway towns..."

Actually, now that I've refreshed my memory of its lyrics, I'm pretty impressed at how very few words you'd need to change in "London Calling" to make it a song about zombies.
