Additional Info
Trivia

Allusions
- The issue's title is a reference to the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.
- The crew delivers Robot Chicken [1] soup to Chapek 9.
- Bender rides the soup can a la Dr. Strangelove.
Continuity
- On seeing zombie Calculon, Fry reflects on the time they killed him.
- It is possible that due to the zombie antivirus, he may be alive again. However there's no evidence of this.
- Amy says Leela reads e-books about the lives of courageous koalas, a reference to the running gag of Leela reading books about brave animals.
Goofs
- On the last page Morbo says "...I only hope for all of our sakes...", however the "f" in the word "for" is missing.
- When Bender says "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, professor?!", Professor Farnsworth responds with "Not quite. You see, the robots...", suggesting Bender's line has been altered from the first draft of the comic.
