I bought the CyberSix DVD set that came out today. It's so weird to hear Spike's voice coming out of a kick-butt heroine. Still love the shows theme song! :awesomedash:

I still think that the craziest connection is that Flam (or is it Flim?) is voiced by Double D from Ed, Edd N Eddy.

How many newspaper strips referenced Ponies (and bronies) at this point?

That's a nice Rainbow Dash, tho.

That's like... That's not even a joke, it's just saying "HEY LOOK THESE PEOPLE STILL LIKE PONIES AHAHAHA". And the art isn't even that good.

Fun fact: The guy who does that strip is one of the staff artists at Paws Inc. He ghosts on "Garfield" for a living.

I get the feeling he's trying to be kind about it, or he likes the show and wants to draw a strip about it. It's just not very clever about how it discusses geeky subjects.

It's funny that he's being kind of snobby about his pony hobby? :pinkieshrug:

Although I don't get why she just doesn't assume the pony's for his daughter. Or why he's staring out horrified in the first panel.

How many Internet fandoms get referenced in media like that? Trekkies are obviously very well-known, and furries have been used and sometimes made fun of (like that one episode of CSI), and we've gotten a few mentions like that as well, but I can't think of too many others.

I don't see a punchline, I feel like there was a panel cut out.

She's winking. That's to let the viewers know she is telling a joke. :wink:

The comic is called "Intelligent Life", so the punchline is probably just too smart for our feeble little brains.

Well...my mother has expressed an interest in seeing the show. I don't know how to feel about this.

Or maybe the title's meant to be subversive. If you don't find the punchline funny, you are too intelligent for this strip, and should therefore go out and lead an "Intelligent Life."

Perhaps it's an indictment of our species. "We claim to be intelligent life, but we still make stuff like this. Perhaps we are not as intelligent as we once thought."

And lastly, the strip might just not be very good. That's always a possibility.
