Don't see the reference to Ender's Game... You'd have better luck with The Last Starfighter and Dr. Strangelove.

It was a reference to The Last Starfigher and Dr. Strangelove. Especially since the first panels were taken from Last Starfighter.
Maybe sir, you should read Enders Game again.

You get a good score in the battle games on the Battle Station (or whatever, it was a long time ago), and then you go take part in humanity's war against the buggers.
Except it's inverted.
Yeah, it's probably not the intended reference, but it's not too hard to get if you've read the book.

I do see the Ender's Game coincidence, but it is much more obviously, intentionally, explicitly referencing Dr. Strangelove and The Last Starfighter. If you've seen those movies (which I thought everyone had), it's much funnier.

Everyone that went to that academy ended up going I think. Ender was chosen to lead the whole fleet before he even got to the academy.

The first three parts is a ref to "The Last Starfighter (1984)" and the forth is a ref to "Dr. Strangelove (1964)" Ender is in no way ref in this comic strip.
Love the fact someone still loves The Last StarFighter let alone remembers it.

"Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur & the Kodan armada."
I'm happy to find others who love one of my favourite movies. This comic is wonderful.
