Don't worry, they'll burn in the special Hell.

Not many people now it is also reserved for people who make rude comments about the movie Serenity.

You can't buy publicity like this folks. Embrace it!
They are jerks, and small-minded ones at that, but people might just check out Serenity because they mock us.

They obviously wanna bag Serenity, but what i noticed is that they quoted a line that wasn't in any adverts. So they obviously saw Serenity at least once. So they bag us out all they like. They obviously helped contribute to sales figures.

bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yes, you're right. I have lost it.

I don't think there's a most hated fan group in the 'verse. Least non that I can think of. Even Trekkies can be somewhat cuddly at times. (Sorry Trekkies)

I think it's funny that they did end up seeing the movie, just so they could make fun of it.

Says a lot.

Yeah, bring it on... I like being outnumbered... that's what makes us special. ;p We'll always be cooler than the Trekkers 'cause we're underdogs.

'Sides, any publicity is good publicity. (Also agree, the fact that he quoted from the movie and went to effort to mention it was 'Joss Whedon's Serenity'... could be they're fans too.)

I am not so upset over the quote, it's the 3/5ths comment that bugs me a bit. Then again, guys who write comics like these, don't have girlfriends that aren't either digital or inflatable. They lash out because they want to be like us.

I'm secure in the fact that every Browncoat counts as 1.5 people (some as 2 or more!) and if their "comic" had 1/10th the fanbase Joss does, I'd be amazed.

'Tis but a scratch! We've had worse...right FOX?

Actually, I have to agree with posters like TCM...the comic's funny.

The only part that kinda irks me is the "Joss Whedon fans are only considered 3/5 a person" and that's becuase I remember some of my American History (even though I am rutting Canuck) which deal with how slaves were treated before the Civil War. And even that's a rather interesting tie-in to Firefly/Serenity cuz of the Civil War/post-Civil War undertones of both the series and the movie.

The three-fifths statement.... Weren't slaves counted as three-fifths of a person for census purposes in the South?

Ugh . . . chill out! Dude's a fan. He's poking fun at himself . . .something we sould all learn to do.

Since it seems to be the subject of various message board discussions around the internet today, I reckon I should clarify the jokes about SERENITY and Joss Whedon in today's strip. I am a Joss Whedon fan, as is Owen. However, I also think it is tons of fun to inexplicably badmouth something that everyone 'versally loves.

Just thought i'd add it in case ppl were thinking of flaming these guys.

I'm not flaming him, and I find the strip awful humorous. All I'm saying is the 3/5 of a person thing crosses a line. (And I should know...around these parts (Ohio) I am known as THE linecrosser)

Most folk won't understand the 1800's Census reference, and those that do, will see that as equivalent to the "N"-word.

It is one thing to make fun, it is another thing entirely to be derogatory. I reckon most folk see this as the latter.

Just my take on it. I saw it for what it was, but seeing it the way people en masse do, can't say it is all sorts o' pleasin'.

Keep flyin' folk, this ain't nothin' but a mosquito bite. ;)
