xkcd equates obsessive fandom with Firefly. In the same breath as BSG, no less.

Thanks a bunch, Polter-Cow, for the reminder of my geekdom...SINCE I HAVE THOSE BOOKS ON MY SHELF!!!

;)

In any case, this is both nostalgic and hilarious-shaped. Though I gave up my Star Wars obsession - now just a healthy interest - for Firefly, rather than right-winger Republicans...

Randall Munroe is my big damn hero. This is consistently a must-read for me, not only because some of the comics are laugh-out-loud funny, but because many of them are also deeply touching.

Don't forget the roll-over text!

I absolutely love XKCD. The most brilliant comic of our times.

Now linked off the (as far as we know) complete list of webcomics mentioning "Firefly" and "Serenity". It is number 74.

Don't forget the old reference XKCD did... [here]

Web comics artists just like Firefly, don't they? ;-)

Oh, that strip is #72 on the list. xkcd also appears at #38 and #59. Munroe's quite mad for the show.

There's also one of my XKCD favourites - 'Serenity is Coming Out Tomorrow'.

Lovely =)

Fantastic. It has only one problem. What is this "growing out of the whole obsessive fan mindset" business? Is that possible? :)

I think he's right, we just trade youthful obsessions for those we deem more grownup. And I made a t-shirt out of 'Serenity is Coming Out Tomorrow' for when I went to the midnight show here at Landmark's Main Art. :)

I just started subscribing to this on LJ, and instantly 'ran' over here to see if someone had posted it! yay for obsession!!
Back to 'work' in 'RL' now. 8-D

That was hilarious to me considering that I did indeed grow out of my Star Wars EU fanaticism and exchanged it for Browncoat-ness.

Serenity is Coming Out Tomorrow is a classic and it captures each character well, though why Simon seems to be picking his nose, I still having figured out.
