  “You may not have been aware of it, but zombies actually have some pretty strong opinions about things. . . . hilarious.” —Wired 
   
  Zombies hate clowns. They also hate hippies, not to mention zip lines, penguins, moon penguins, nudists, weddings, sharing, and kittens. They really hate unicorns, strangely don’t mind Canadians, and love YOU.  
   
  Greg Stones’s ghoulishly colorful paintings reveal funny and unexpected scenes of zombie disgruntlement, cataloging the stuff that really riles up the walking dead (astronauts, rain, bagpipes, re-gifting, and more) with wit, humor, and, of course, brains. Zombies Hate Stuff offers an irresistible perspective on the zombie apocalypse and the pop culture phenomenon that will not die.  
   
  “Stones’s panels have a cool way of collectively turning a grin into a chuckle (and perhaps, dare it be said, into a hearty guffaw). . . . When it comes to creating humor, Stones uses all the tricks of the trade.” —Publishers Weekly

  A radio road trip across America featuring the wackiest calls from the nuttiest specimens ever to phone the show. A high point of every Car Talk show is the call-in segment, when listeners phone in for advice and regale hosts Click and Clack with tales of their own automotive misadventures. Like Dave from Bemidji, Minnesota, who drives his Chevy Cavalier home from Alaska when it already has 350,000 miles on the odometer. And Dinesh, who strolls across Death Valley. Rather than worry about buzzards, he's concerned about how his car will hold up in the heat. Christy wants to know if she fried her dad's Citation. Adrienne frets that a load of rocks might crush her Saab. Single guy John wonders if he should tidy up his car for a first date or reveal its trashy self. And when Ann's husband travels from Georgia to Florida to get his vasectomy reversed, Ann drives like a banshee to bring him back home. Ever since, their Caravan makes strange grinding noises. It seems that lunatics aren't confined to Car Talk Plaza. They're everywhere, and they're dialing the phone. Four hilarious radio shows celebrate the land of the free, home of the wacko.

  Nothing sets the tone for the day like learning your home planet has just changed ownership. 
   
  Today is a day like any other on Earth. People wake and work. Minds plug into electronic devices. Social networks spark with spontaneous brain sputterings. A woman primps. A man scratches his balls. Humans relate, congregate, procreate.

  Then, the figurative bomb hits. Screens are ablaze, and radio is abuzz with a news flash like no other: 
   
  Earth has been inherited. The planet has a new owner. 
   
  And he's not happy to find his endowment overrun by a planetary pestilence. 
   
  Earth gets its wakeup call. How would you answer it?
