Even people on the ISS (International Space Station, ISIS) give a tribute to him. RIP Spock, you will always be remembered.
Also on the other news, westboro baptist church decided to do a picket fence demonstration for Leonard Nimoy’s funeral. But joke’s on them, since Nimoy’s a Jewish according to the Jewish tradition he must be buried immediately. so he was buried last Sunday in a private ceremony (no, it’s not because of wbc, they just expecting there will be thousands of trekkies want to attend to funeral. They want more privacy). So those wbc idiots missed the opportunity.
Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Itâs a prestige posting, and Andrew is thrilled all the more to be assigned to the shipâs Xenobiology laboratory.
Life couldnât be betterâŚuntil Andrew begins to pick up on the fact that:
(1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces
(2) the shipâs captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations
(3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.
Not surprisingly, a great deal of energy below decks is expended on avoiding, at all costs, being assigned to an Away Mission. Then Andrew stumbles on information that completely transforms his and his colleaguesâ understanding of what the starship Intrepid really isâŚand offers them a crazy, high-risk chance to save their own lives.
The same author wrote âOld Manks Warâ. Very well done combat science fiction. Think a cross between David Drakeâs âHammerâs Slammersâ and Heinlein âStarship Troopersâ.
Cock of the Walk? That’s a new one. A very dirty sounding new one, but a new one nonetheless.
Top-ranking rooster, not what you’re thinking.
I think that phrase is so old, that was the only meaning it had back in its day.
Actually, an old term. My parents used it, and they were Great Depression kids.
And then I remember that Leonard Nimoy died not too long ago…

Damn, I was so rooting for Ensign Crunchy đ
Instead of stretching to rhyme ‘sword’ and ‘floor’, might I suggest “but Spock would just pinch and you would be floored.”
We are all red shirts before Nimoy.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Excellent tribute.
Thanks!
Ensign Crunchy…. Oh man, that’s great!
“Do not meddle in the affairs of pointy lifeforms for you are Ensign Crunchy and good with ketchup.”
I love Spock. He made it cool to be a nerd, which wasn’t easy in 1967.
This strip was made as a tribute to Leonard Nimoy, wasn’t it? If so, it’s a great tribute.
Poor Nimoy….
Ah, a tribute to a nice Jewish boy from my hometown who made good…
May I suggest that you might enjoy the following book?

I have that book! It’s incredible, and very funny, and definitely one of my better airport purchases.

Ah, good ol’ Spock. We shall miss him. He did live long and prosper, though…
