Wasn’t until I sat down to draw panel three that I remembered my bugs don’t have ears. Tried drawing the alien pulling out Spock’s fake ears but it didn’t look right. Gave up and had him pull out the antenna instead.
None of the bugs in this strip have mouths! But panel 3 still works!
Gotta say, I love the fact that we got a themed week. Those are my favorites, and the fact that this one is not only one of your funniest, but also based upon one of my favorite franchises, makes this week one of the best you’ve ever done. Bravo, dear sir.
ditto! Happy Trek Week!!!
It’s funny how you stumbled when realizing your bugs don’t have ears but have no problem with the fact they don’t have mouths either 😉
I have no mouth but I must scream because my lips are being ripped off my face.
Well, Mr. Sbug from first panel has ears.
im confused, I have never seen star trek as having any sort of “moral lession”
occasionlly its like that…but….
star trek is not even all that intellectually driven, just rammed along by the plot-rails. more plot holes then can be stated…ect
…so if its true that its meant to have that sort of thing in it….and I missed what would be THAT obvious…wow am I just THAT obvious?
It’s mostly TNG.
Well, and TOS. They had the black-and-white aliens (race), first interracial kiss on TV, Doomsday Machine (nuclear weapons/escalation), lots of Cold War references (Klingons were basically Russians), Amok Time (don’t tick off a Vulcan in heat)… uh… and others…
oh, its less obvious to me cas im the wrong generation for the show….I forgot I was born like a decade after it was finished(or something like that)
And don’t judge a monster until you’ve tunneled a mile in its… um, analogy falls apart there. (But “Devil in the Dark” is a must-see!)
Maybe that silicon monster was about the need for companies to treat local people well? Which is why when they stopped smashing the creature’s eggs, it started finding ore for them to mine.
TOS was all about how this group of people of different colors and countries and planets could all get along and be officers on one ship like it was no big deal. (Along with the bridge crew, look at the corridor scenes especially in the first season.)
KLINGONS ARE ABOUT PATRIARCHY AND THE WAYS IN WHICH TOXIC MASCULINITY IS EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL TO THE PEOPLE IT’S SUPPOSEDLY BENEFITING.
GEEZ

There was also the one about inner beauty, and lifting of scifi short stories [the Gorn thing] and tribbles …. I have no idea where that one came from though the introduction of Triticale was newsworthy agro science at the time.
Tribbles are clearly a representation of imperialism. Don’t ask how that possibly makes any sense. Art doesn’t have to make sense. 😛
