The webcomic PVP mentions Firefly in todays strip. (March 16th).

Has anyone run across references in other online media?

I only read two webcomics regularly, PVP and Penny Arcade ( www.penny-arcade.com), and now both of them have mentioned Firefly.

There are a lot of occasions in my everyday life were I say "Ha! That's going into the strip." It's rare that an idea translates almost VERBATIM into four convenient panels, however. Today is one of those days.

I got the Firefly DVD set for my birthday because so many people told me that the show was great and that it was a tragedy that it got dumped. Today's strip is almost EXACTLY what happened when my wife and I sat down to watch the pilot last night.

You guys were right. Firefly is AWESOME. It's great.

Well, at least the FIRST episode is. I have no idea about the rest yet since I'm forbidden to watch them alone. Doing so would be committing DVD adultery.



That is awesome. It seems everyday that Firefly is getting more and more media plugs.


Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Tycho mentioned it around Christmas or New Year's, and Gabe posted about it a couple of months ago.

There was, briefly, a thread here a couple of months ago called "Penny Arcade mentions Firefly", or something like, and both of the links were in that thread.

This is the link from the FFF forums. Both mentions are quoted.

BTW, folks. PVP, as well as Penny-Arcade, have rather large online followings. Mentioning FF is nothing but good for us browncoats!

No power in the 'verse!

I fully intended to post this thread. Once again, too slow.

And to quote the other thread,

Pete Abrams, author and artist of Sluggy Freelance ( www.sluggy.com), which gets around 9 million hits per day, is going to be at LunaCON this weekend.

If any Browncoats are going to be there-----give him a DVD set! Online comic strips are a great source of publicity.

Well I'm not going, but I think this is a great idea in general. It's one thing to give it to friends (which of course we definitely should do), but if we're ever given the chance to give a DVD set to someone with a wide internet/TV/etc audience, that would be great publicity. Anyone going to cons, maybe just bring along several DVD sets to give to those kind of people.

The Firefly connection continues -- one of the PVP characters just used 'Shiney' in a strip that has nothing to do with Firefly.

Shiney.

I recall when I saw that. I bounced.


as an aside, if I think anything stereotypically geeky is cool, I say it's shiny now. Damn Firefly
