Really

First mention of Second Life in a non-geek oriented comic strip I’ve seen:

Reminds me of reading comics from the 90s where the punchline depends on how slow it is to load web pages.

I suppose we could argue about whether the mention is yet another sign of the growing spread of Second Life, or, since the joke depends on SL being something weird and unfamiliar, it is a sign that virtual worlds are not catching on with mainstream audiences.

Little Dee – a comic strip with hidden depths!
