This comic doesn’t make much sense if you haven’t read “There Will Come Soft Rains” in The Martian Chronicles. Â As a 6th grader, that book opened whole new worlds to me. Â Bradbury was so strange and good, and I am better for having known his work. Â I hope others in the future continue to be lucky enough to stumble into his realm.

Awesome short story! Thanks for the link!
This was the second Bradbury story I ever read. English II as a sophomore. “A Sound of Thunder” was the first on in English I. I’ve been hoarding his work ever since. I’m an English teacher, and I approve of this comic.
