Hey what's wrong with being married in full Klingon atire? lol No but seriously; that new Star Trek theme wedding in Vegas, where you get married on the desk of one of the Enterprises is pretty cool, and I'm not even that big of a Treker.
Honestly after I first read that comic I was kinda' like "You FRELLERS!" I know I shouldn't let it piss me off but it does. And I use frell since they don't respect Browncoats maybe they respect Scapers, although I doubt they're even that clever (that sounds kinda' wrong, I'm both a Browncoat and a Scaper (of course more Browncoat) and was insulting neither fan group).

See, I ordinarily get tickled with delight whenever someone references history offhandedly like that (one of the folks in our upcoming Serenity RPG group has a backstory that parallels the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus by Lincoln, for instance, and that made me all manner of pleased when I saw that). But, yeah, it's just... kind of a downer as far as jokes are concerned.
Like I'm saying, there're good webcomics, and there're boring ones. Sore Thumbs is one of the ones I never bothered with. Even Order of the Stick ( http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript) is better, and he uses stick figures (DnD-heavy references, though, so it's esoteric humor). KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.

Remember in our society, you are nothing unless you are parodied.....
I so agree with you.
If people would scroll down, you'd see the creator is a fan.
He's poming fun at himself . . .something everyone should learn to do.
Un-wad thine panties.

No, no. You've got it wrong.
For a FOX exec we need AXES, just like they used on the show.
Axes are really quite intuitive, you know.
I think you'd be a quick learner.

I read back about twelve issues.
I don't know. It's kinda bugging me. I keep thinking it SHOULD be funny, but it isn't. I like the concept of the psychotic dad who the children dote on. The expressions are amusing and the some of the character tweaks also. It's just... it's not really funny. *Gngh*
Which is a shame, because I'd welcome a genuinely funny attack on Firefly/Serenity/Whedon. It gets a bit dull reading web-comics eulogising over it. Serenity does have some problems, but still was a solid 4/5 film for me that I loved. But this comic... *sigh*... it just isn't that funny.
Albeit it is interesting.
But please:
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please (fingers hurt) please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please (wrists too actually) please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please (and my sanity is fracturing come to mention it...) please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please...
... don't flame the chap or the website. Don't get angry or upset. Don't go about shaking your fists at the comic. If we email or shout, or scream, or post then we'll only look like creepy jerks, so let's not, okay? Not that I'm assuming we'd be so uncool as to do so, but I figured, since I'm not used to fandom and Firefly is my first true geek love, that I'd err on the side of caution and warn.
Let's be cool.
Now someone out there insult our beloved in an amusing and incisive manner that raises cutting points, and I shall shake them in a manly fashion by the hand.

I agree, we'd just be adding fuel to the Whedon-hater flames. I've never understood the zealous Whedon-hating crowd in the first place. What's up with that anyway?
