So here’s the follow up to the cliffhanger I left you with on Friday – the continuation of Tom’s misadventures after sharing spoiler information about Zombieland on Twitter.
Friday’s comic was based on real-events. Things from this point on are entirely fictional. I felt compelled to share that just in case anyone was confused.
In case you happen to be new to the site, this isn’t the first time the Nerd Police have slapped the irons on Tom. Their first appearance was WAAAAYYYY back in 2005 when Jared rats him out for confusing Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy with Doctor Who. Much hilarity ensues.
I had been looking for an excuse to bring the Nerd Police back, even though the characters undergo no development in any way, shape or form. They’re just a couple of nameless thugs with horn rim glasses and I like ‘em that way! The concept is funny, at least. Well, funny to me, I guess.
Anyway, not much else to talk about with this comic except to say stay tuned for Wednesday’s comic and watch where the story line goes.
In the meantime, be sure to listen to The Triple Feature movie podcast live tonight at 9PM CST over at TalkShoe.com
We took last week off after my hard drive crashed and Gordon had a biopsy taken off his tongue which left 5 stitches in his mouth. Good times!
But this week I know we’ll at least be talking about Zombieland and probably more. Also, I know that Joe just got back from Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, so maybe he has some stories to share about that.
So be there to listen LIVE at 9PM CST. Participate in the live chat, ask us questions and even get on air with us (if you are so inclined.) We hope to see you there!

I’m not sure which makes me more of a nerd; thinking of _Monster’s, Inc_ as soon as I saw “24-19″, or quickly realizing that the code in the movie was actually “23-19″.
Great comic as always, Tom!

You, sir… deserve a gold star.
We actually just watched Monsters, Inc. the other day with Henry for the very first time. I didn’t know I was inadvertently referencing it until you mentioned it!

Woohooo Gold Star!
Ok, so what exactly would the “Nerd Police” theme be? I can’t seem them barging in to “Bad Boys”, so what song would let people know that they mean business?

Definitely reminds me of collegehumor.com sketch.

Funny, but in America doors “knock” not knok. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Don’t worry Tom, I inadvertantly gave the spoiler to quite a few friends too. I had known about the spoiler for ages and honestly didn’t realize it was a spoiler until my hubby mentioned it to me after my spoiler indiscretion. Zombieland spoiler was no where near Crying Game or Empire Strikes Back level and knowing it did not detract one iota from my enjoyment of Zombieland!

Did someone get a certain song stuck in there head after watching “Glee” last week? Or does ComicTom just randomly sing feel good ’80s songs before his life comes crashing down around his ears?

Believe it or not, “I’m Walkin’ On Sunshine” is a Futurama reference. Fry sings it during one episode at the beginning of a scene. I don’t remember what he was doing.
Oh, and I don’t watch Glee. Sorry!
