Additional Info

Quotes

Zapp: A war to end all wars, you say?
Bender: No, just one that will make me popular again.
Zapp: Without a defined enemy, my suggestion is to shoot randomly in all directions.
Lrrr: People of Earth! I am Lrrr of the planet Omicron Persei 8!
Ndnd: You don't need to shout. They're right next to you.

Continuity

Agnew is in several scenes, confirming that the comics are still set before Into the Wild Green Yonder.
While the staff are showering:
- Fry sings Walking on Sunshine
- A black bar covers Zoidberg's mouth, this is in line with his misunderstanding that the human male reproductive organ is in the neck.
- Oddly, a black bar appears over Leela's butt, which, like the other crew members', has been shown before.

Allusions

Fry and Leela's date montage has references to Star Wars, Alien and comic book artist Howard Chaykin

Goofs

This issue is named for the "Anthology of Interest" series of episodes. However the title "Anthology of Interest II" is already taken by an episode, it may be that Bongo forgot this episode existed or that they forgot the previous issue of this theme was called "Twice Told Tales of Interest". It should be noted that there is a similar series of Simpsons comics and episodes under the title "Treehouse of Horror", however these are both numbered from one upwards, which would have been the intention here.
During Bender's inauguration, Zoidberg's clothing is pink rather than blue.
When he is first seen, Kif's sleeves are missing.
When Fry is telling Hermes that his story was boring, "Put" is written as "But".
When suggesting they get Hermes during Amy's scenario, Leela's hand is Human rather than Decapodian.
