Didja Notice?

 

On the cover by Dan Dos Santos, the artist's initials and the year are on a sign on a building in the background cityscape.

 

On page 15, panel 5 are store signs for Gekko and CaPis. These are probably fictitious businesses, though the Gekko logo is somewhat similar to the Gekko clothing line of the Netherlands. Another store sign has no words on it, but has an image of what looks like a top view of a Starfleet ship from Star Trek!

On page 16, panel 3, a store called Green is seen.

 

On page 17, panel 1, a billboard for Mean Girl is seen.

 

On page 18, panel 3, part of an advertisement video is seen playing in the background. The cartoon character seen in the image may be one of the Fruity Oaty Bars mascots.

On page 19, Jayne again uses the term "moonbrained" to describe River, as he did in "The Train Job".
