Reginald and his fellow friendly zombies (Peanut Butter & Brains) now coexist peacefully with Quirkville's living citizens. When non-threatening-looking aliens arrive armed with "cosmic grape jelly," the zombies' and humans' taste for PB&J provides a means to diplomacy with the "hangry" extraterrestrials. Outrageous sound effects ("BRAZZAP-SPLAT!"), non-verbal thought balloons, and slapstick visual humor contrast with the played-straight text for a highly silly second outing.
