All bets are off if Ira begins a sentence with, "Don't recall, sir." This is the man who's been mind wiped one time too many we're talking about.
Remember Ira, the sole survivor Of Annex One Security Trapped in the never-never
Did reality break back in '78 Living out a hot date with his personal Fate A happy ever after Or echoes of a future disaster?
Does he suffer from long term memory loss? I don't recall... miss? Does he suffer from long term memory loss? I don't recall... miss?
He sings the same old verse Walks it over as he whistles to work What goes around, comes around, again, again, again His heart's pulled apart Mushrooms blooming in the dark Blood is red, bones are white Something in Accounting doesn't like the light
Does he suffer from long term memory loss? I don't recall... miss? Does he suffer from long term memory loss? I don't recall... sir?

Rallying my team -- ready now, and here we go! Danger is extreme -- time to see Moustachio!
Heading into danger soon! Things are getting stranger soon!
Here's security -- telling him it's "sir", not "ma'am" ... He's got loyalty, can't remember worth a damn!
Heading into danger now! With an Army Ranger now!

Obligatory virus note: Since I cannot reproduce the virus finding on normal use, and am unwilling to scuttle what security protocols are apparently stopping me from reproducing it, please let us know if there is any change for the better. No need to fill the comment section with "Yep, still bad!"-style announcements, just let us know if it improves. Thankey!
JCW: The last time this happened (to webcomicsnation as a whole) I complained to the reporting site, and got the following informative links in the autoreply. The explanations there include links to various page-analysis tools.
It's been fixed, WCN's html editor ('TinyMCE - Javascript WYSIWYG Editor') was hijacked. Someone put Javascript code at the top of the editor code that opens a very small nested page frame to an off site location.
What was hijacked is the area for entering text for a new comment (which uses the TinyMCE HTML editor). As long as you were showing the 'Add a comment' text box, the malware would still be part of your page.
The security staff was all let go in '78 (budget cuts). Ira forgot he'd been fired.

@Graves: The Department of Mind Control Application's chief Researcher, Dr. Shane, got him added officially as a live-in experiment on the long-term effects of the Mark 3, and unofficially as a example to the Brass of why funding for the Mark 4 was so important. It turns out that funding for biological experiments is awarded based on the smallest lab animal that can do the job, and at 184 pounds, Ira qualified for Tier 7 funding, which nearly doubled his annual income. Interestingly enough, the shock seemed to overcome his memory damage temporarily; when he was informed he would be getting a significant pay raise, his response was to exclaim "DOMCA Shane!"
Well, I felt I should have stopped her, But it got to be too late; Got on board that helicopter So we could evacuate ... I'm not sure what's going on here, But I know, at times, I find That I really wish I had a piece of mind!
Well, I know she's 'round here somewhere, Lady evil scientist! Now, I'm feeling kinda dumb; there Are some details I have missed! Seems she's standing right beside me, How 'bout that? I didn't know ... So I guess I'll shake her hand and say hello!
How do you do? It's nice to meet you! My name's Ira Rosenkrantz! I'd like to fight you and defeat you If you give me half a chance! Though I might regret it ... I'm so confused now ... I just don't get it ...

Both the cobras and the evil scientist are adorable, though.
Just making sure ... just making sure ... Your comprehension, and attention span's poor! Just let me add, you know we've had Talks about how "Fire ... bad!"
Mou-sta-chi-o ... must go, although He pledged to "Lurch For The Cure" ... He must be stopped! Bomb can't be dropped! Good girl! I'm just making sure!
Don't get me wrong If I tell you our receptionist Has got a nuclear weapon And plans to kill us all Don't get me wrong If I say that a mad scientist Is loading snakes onto a plane - One of those things is bad Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong If it all sounds complicated Just think about the fireworks They're the wrong kind of fireworks Don't get me wrong We don't want you to kill anyone Okay we want you to kill someone But he's not really someone
He's a machine Not that that means He's not our friend But he's not our friend Suddenly somehow He slipped a gear Who can explain? Was our killbot insane? Well he had to have been to work here -
OK, I could have taken the melody from "Hair" (which I've already used) or the old "My Little Pony" TV commercial (which, I am ashamed to admit, I actually remember). If I had used the latter, then I would've had to find someone to come and kill me.

My Little Chrissie! Marcie really likes your brushable hair ... My Little Chrissie! She would love to run her fingers through there! She'd like to braid it! You can't be sure how it looks 'til you try ... Just like a big grouchy My Little Pony! (You're ready to die!)
@flipkat: "Rainy Day People" is a better-known song, and matches the meter of "My Little Pony". Although I am familiar with "Pony Man". I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Say, would you like to climb up this shaft? And overcome the smell and the draft? At security, Shelby laughed! (We must resist the urge to narc!)
The shaft has security to keep us outside; We just use a comb to override! It vi-o-lates official protocol, But if we don't, we'll see a high death toll! We'll see if Sweetheart will squeal, instead of bark ... She must resist the urge to narc!
I have to say this: You draw dogs exceedingly well. The expression, the posture... everything. I know this is late (should have said it back during the werewolf story) but it's very, very true.
Ahh, security. You can build the most elaborate, perfect system imaginable, and then someone will undermine it to save five minutes work or the trouble of remembering a 10 character password.
Unity really has nothing to fear. Beestings can't harm her, and she's a: a federal employee b: far more dangerous to the Shadow Government on the outside causing trouble (and beating guys into a pulp).
When I'm crawling through the air shaft with a zombie and a dog, And we're hoping we don't meet up with a slimy, toxic frog, As we creep along the corridor, as quiet as you please ... Let's all scream in terror! It is a swarm of bees!
Well, I'm jumping back in panic, 'til she gives a friendly buzz ... Then I calm down, for I know that she won't sting my butt because, I would go into anaphylactic shock, and soon be dead ... So the Panic Ball gets passed off to Unity instead!
