I mentioned before that I was unable to attend San Diego Comic-Con 2007. This comic represents a fictionalized universe where “the crew” (you may also refer to them as “Teh b0yZ”) attends faithfully each year with coordinated costumes. I can only assume that in such a scenario one member would draw the proverbial short straw and be called upon to adopt an alternate gender roll. Comic-Con is generally in no short supply of men willing to do just that.
Though the mystery of the Blue Sun Corporation may never be revealed, Eli’s bit of Chinese cursing in the first panel does have a translation. 50 pts if you figure it out. You can apply those points towards your purchase of the Serenity: Special Edition DVD. Looks like our hopes of a BDS ride squarely on it.
Costume ideas that didn’t make it into the comic:
- Angel, Wesley, Cordy
- Buffy, Giles, Xander (eye-patchy Xander, otherwise how could you tell it was him?)
- Zod, Ursa and Non
- Marvel Zombies (Cap, Spidey and Sue Storm maybe)
- American McGee’s Alice, Cheshire Cat and Hatter
- Beatrix Kiddo, Bill, and a Crazy 88
- The Ghostbusters (since Janean doesn’t count, I couldn’t do it)
- Mr. Furious, The Shoveller and the Bowler (I wish I had done that one)
To make everything fit I had to remove the word (or exclamatory phrase), “Shenanigans!” from the last panel. I apologize, but I promise I will find a place for it in the near future.
Janine may not really count, but Dana Barrett sure as hell does. Seriously, i could have been Zuul 😛
@Josh
Are you the keymaster?
You misspelled gorramn. 😛
Also, Josh wrapped in ace bandages? Not pretty.
I’m going to have nightmares about that for a long, LONG, time.
@Corner
Goramnit! I’ll probably fix it. I actually looked it up and that was the spelling I got.
Also, Josh is beautiful. And they are thermal bandages, not Ace brand.
@ Jim
See above, and be thankful he’s wearing those.
Multipass!
Oh! Geek question:
Which element stone are you holding?
This is by far the best one yet, and my sister (very ungeek) loved it.
You guys officially win the Nobel prize for including a Venture Bros. parody.
@MKR
mooool-teeee-passss
@Mathew:
I want to say “earth.” Fire burns, wind blows…earth…dirts.
Tell your sister to bone up on her geek. (That came out terrible)
@Di
GO TEAM VENTURE!
Obviously you don’t have enough Firefly fans watching. The translation is “God damn, mother humping son of a whore! Damn it!”
Haha meat popsicle!

i just discovered your comic tonight and my fondness for it was already growing nicely, but this… this comic of geekly beauty made me die for a moment out of sheer joy!
