Easily one of Ray Bradbury’s most famous stories, adapted into comic form by Wally Wood in the Fifties, and included in an Artist’s Edition I picked up recently.

Hadn’t read the story in decades, which might be why I didn’t remember it ends on August 5, 2026.

Nice knowing you!

Yeah, I noted that with some alarm a few weeks back. Revised edition has moved the dates thirty years back or so, but Bradbury’s original (and the EC version) keeps the original 2026.

For additional fun flavor, the company I work for does a big chunk of smart home automation, so this story and ‘The Veldt’ have never been too far from my mind.

I will say that the title alone sounds intriguing.
