This is possibly a continuation of 139: I Have Owned Two Electric Skateboards .
Firefly was a television series aired by Fox in 2002 that got cancelled mid-way through, but it has a large fan base nowadays (for a more comprehensive explanation, see the Wikipedia page). The star of the show was Captain Malcolm (or Mal) Reynolds, played by Nathan Fillion .
So in this comic, Megan tells Cueball that Nathan Fillion has an electric skateboard. Cueball immediately starts planning a trip to visit and race Nathan Fillion.
The title text refers to an earlier comic 211: Hamster Ball Heist , where Cueball kidnaps Wayne Coyne in his hamster ball.
