The Race: Part 1
Great, and you JUST finished paying off the settlement over the Wayne Coyne hamster ball incident.
Title text: Great, and you JUST finished paying off the settlement over the Wayne Coyne hamster ball incident.

Explanation

Firefly was a television series aired by FOX in 2002 that got cancelled mid-way through, but has a large fan base nowadays (for a more comprehensive explanation, see the Wikipedia page). The star of the show was Captain Malcolm (or Mal) Reynolds, played by Nathan Fillion.

So in this comic, Megan tells Cueball that Nathan Fillion has an electric skateboard. Cueball immediately starts planning a trip to visit and race Nathan Fillion.

The mouseover text references an earlier comic (211), where Cueball kidnaps Wayne Coyne in his hamster ball.

Discussion

I read the last panel almost visualizing the scene, and "Gimme the computer. I want to Book a flight" has a strong rhyme with Sean Paul's Single [1], is it just me or Randall's got more in it ? 108.162.222.59ck
