I'd interviewed her previously for a blog I do dedicated to comics, and when I met her that was basically all i could say: "I'm the guy who interviewed you." Reading her comic about being a fan really made me feel better about how awkward I was when meeting her.

Yes, explaining a bout to newbies without spending a great deal of time explaining rule details is difficult. There is that fine line between introducing them to the moment when it's time to get excited and spouting garbledy-gook (as interpreted by them). I've found it's useful when you can help people anticipate when a great block is coming, or the moment a jammer is about to claim "lead", or how close the other jammer is to scoring points of her own. For the youth at the church I work at, it was watching <i>Whip-it</i>. Now comes the task of keeping them in for the long haul. Kudos to Lucy for capturing fandom in art. Ha!
