I Am

Image text: Great, LO-M. Do you speak Bocce? I'm supposed to find one that speaks Bocce.
The text in the first frame is a biblical reference as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are all people from the Bible. The closest quote would be Exodus 3-5. The quote is from the burning bush passage in the Bible. It is possible the plant at the end of the tunnel could be a burning bush.
This comic is making an insinuation that the voice of God or God itself is C3PO from the Star Wars Universe.
In the Image text, the quote is from Star Wars: A New Hope in which Luke's uncle says the last two sentences of the image text to C3PO to make sure he speaks the same language as the moisture vaporators on their farm. Booce is the language spoken by those moisture vaporators.
The use of LO-M looks to be a double reference to Elohim which is used as the name of God in the Jewish religion and the LOM series droids from the Star Wars universe.
The tunnel could signify the Large Hadron Collider and the search for the "God" particle. The two particles falling behind the character in the first frame seems to signify that.

Please don't make me explain this one. It's fairly obvious if you are old enough. If you don't understand...just wait until you are older... keep waiting...
Movie Narrative Charts
by Jeff
(You absolutely have to click on the image to see it larger. It is quite detailed and impressive.)
Image text: In the LotR map, up and down correspond LOOSELY to northwest and southeast respectively.
Lord of the Rings is pretty self-explanatory if you have seen the movies based on the series by JRR Tolkien. It is important to note that the chart is based on the movie, not the books. Second, is the original Star Wars trilogy. If you haven't seen those, stop what you are doing right now and go get them. Third, is the original Jurrassic Park movie.
The joke in 12 Angry men graphic is that in the movie all 12 jurors are all in the same room the entire movie. They never move and they all always interact with each other, hence their lines stay straight and close to each other.
The last box is a movie called Primer from 2004, which became a cult classic. It is about accidentally discovering time travel. The plot is so convoluted and mixed up with the time travel between the original person and the so-called time travelling "double" that it is almost impossible to figure out where each character is at one time...as the comic illustrates.
UPDATE: These charts are roughly a reference to the map by Charles Joseph Minard that details the movements and losses of Napolean's troops on his failed conquest of Russia.

So Bad It’s Worse
by Jeff
Image text: You think it's so legendarily bad that you'll torrent it and sit through it just for the kitchy nerd cred. I, too, once thought as you did.
The Star Wars Holiday special was so terrible that George Lucas tries to act like it never existed. He gave the rights to "variety TV guys" to create the special and it was widely panned.
