<select name="uc_select" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('self',this,0)" class="drop">
		<option value="http://www.ucomics.com/comics/" selected>Comics              
</option>

		<option value=""> </option>
			
		
		<option value="http://www.ucomics.com/9to5/">9 to 5</option>
		<option value="http://www.ucomics.com/theacademiawaltz/">The Academia
Waltz</option>

		<option value="http://www.ucomics.com/adamathome/">Adam@Home</option>

		<option value="http://www.ucomics.com/agnes/">Agnes</option>
