Feb. 4 spoilers (Rockin' Mao)

I noticed it had been a while since the last installment, but personally, the forum has almost been entertaining enough lately.

I've never heard any Herman's Hermits songs, but I loved the lyrics. The way Chick's eye bulges in the fourth panel, in response to the "married seven times" line, was a nice touch.

Lenin had an unusually large role today ("Hey, Mao!") However, it seems that Chairman Mao is slowly becoming more and more prominent. He still creeps me out if I stare at him too long, but he's become a pretty nifty character.

And the Toonbot has the surprisingly dead pan last line (well, the delivery seemed dead pan, given the lack of an exclamation point.)

Capital, capital, and goes along perfectly with the "Galileo" strip.

Yes. If we allow this e-mail travesty to continue, countless Spontaneous Spoiler Specialists across the country will be put out of work, and their jobs exported to overseas mail-daemons that work for one percent of minimum wage!
TO ARMS, COMRADES!!
*Ahem*
Sorry about that.
Heh.

Well, Emsworth might need to get the email for the notification to be passed onto the rest of the world. I suppose it's not completely evil.

I believe this was the second time I'e taken advantage of the e-mail notification. If I'm online at the time, it allows me to be more efficient in carrying out my duties to the jihad.
