Euh.. well I guess I should make a strip explaining why I have Scandinavian fanboys..
That would be a good start, but I'd suggest that you seague into it in the flow of a storyline... for example, if one of the strip charaters asks the girl about the fanboys, giving her a chance to explain it.

why should they speak English anyways? Whatever.
I guess they don't have to. I guess you also don't mind if large portions of your strip library have little chance to appeal to anyone who doesn't speak Norwegian. But seriously, why should they not speak english? It's the most common second language in the world. I've been on webforums crawling with Europeans, including our friends from Nortern Europe, and every last one of them spoke at least enough english to get by, if not enough to be fluently conversant.

Well, I might as well say my origin here and then make it into a strip when I feel like it.
One of my friends runs a forum. And as a joke, on April Fool's Day, he made a subforum called the "We Love Asymptotic Notation" and well, the population of that forum is predominately Scandinavian. So, thus, Scandinavian fanboys.
See, inside jokes are only funny if you're on the inside. How would the people of stripcreator have known the significance of this without an explanation? The whole situation loses a lot without proper context. These strips would probably have gotten a riotous reaction on your friend's forum, but here, they have no such history and therefore no basis for the humor. Make sense?
