::Yup; sorry Qermaq, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. If it's not a reference, it's a goof, and I'd like to think they know how to spell it. Plus, suppose they were simply thinking of Chekhov, and Chekov never entered their minds; why choose the "Mr." title? It's a strange choice for an anthology or biography. And it would be a stranger coincidence for it to mirror the Star Trek usage accidentally. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC) | ::Yup; sorry Qermaq, but I gotta disagree with you on this one.

:::Nah, I don't think this is a goof. Chekhov sounds like the kind of stuff that Strong Sad was reading. He doesn't strike me as the type who reads Star Trek anthologies. Anyway, the way the fact is written now, everybody can make up their own mind. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC) | :::Nah, I don't think this is a goof.

- | You guys are all forgetting that this is a funny cartoon. It's a joke. Strong Sad was reading Anton Checkhov, but the brothers, in Strong Bad-style humor, added "Mr." to the front of it, referring to Pavel Chekov, more or less to make fun of the author and/or Strong Sad. I mean, couldn't you totally see Strong Bad making fun of someone's name in this way?--[[User: | + | You guys are all forgetting that this is a funny cartoon. It's a joke.

- | ::Because Strong Bad's sense of humor and TBC's sense of humor are pretty much one in the same. I'm just saying, Strong Bad is always making fun of peoples names, and intentionally crossing Chekov with Checkhov seems like something he would do, right? Well, TBC are the ones that come up with all the jokes, so it's not unlikely that they would put just such a joke on the cover of that book.--[[User: | + | ::Because Strong Bad's sense of humor and TBC's sense of humor are pretty much one in the same.
