The two are communicating by sending messages with tachyons.Stewie : You don't have to sell out like that, Brian. (Stewie clenches his teeth) Your novel is good enough to be published on its own merits. The voice of Brian is provided by series creator Seth MacFarlane, who also provides the voices of many other characters including Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire.

[18] A book written from Brian's point of view (actually written by Andrew Goldberg) was published in 2006. It was called Brian Griffin's Guide to Booze, Broads and the Lost Art of Being a Man.

They also praised the selection of Brian to play Chewbacca as they stated in the " Blue Harvest" review. In their list of "What Else Should Family Guy Make Fun Of?", IGN commented that Brian would be perfect to play Q, if Family Guy ever decides to make a James Bond parody.
