It’s time for the second season of Rumormonger Idol! The tryouts get started (or do they?) in today’s bonus strip.
All the voting this year is going to be on the forum – so if you want to vote and don’t have a forum account, now is a good time to register!
And if you have no idea at all what I’m talking about, you can see last year’s first round here. 
Today’s strip was number 1331 – of which 989 have been transcribed over at Oh No Robot! It’s too bad I’ve updated Z7 twice this month, or it would still have been at 414 and fit the theme, but then this wasn’t exactly planned.
(And thanks to everyone who’s been helping out with the transcriptions, especially Kerinbot!)
In today’s picture, Ebb has a Unit 4+2 CD – they’re best known for their 1965 hits “Concrete and Clay” and “You’ve Never Been In Love Like This Before,” also had a few other minor hits in the UK (“The Green Fields,” “Hark,” “You’ve Got To Be Cruel To Be Kind,” “Baby Never Say Goodbye”), and recorded my favorite version of Bob Dylan’s “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere,” which I happened to have on in the car today while stuck in traffic on my way to work. Seemed appropriate, and that’s why I thought of posting this.
(And they’re also where Unit Six got his name!)
Well, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame got it wrong again (big surprise), and the Dave Clark Five didn’t get in.
But that doesn’t stop Ebb from enjoying their music!
