Okay, you get to write ONE dream comic mini-series, featuring characters you did not create.

What character would you pick, and who would draw it?

To draw a star trek comic. Frank Cho for the mix of disarming beauty in the humans and expressive cartoon absurdity in the aliens.

Goodness a TNG era Star Trek comic book would be my pick.

Something that is near the show in tone but feels like modern dialogue.

Parts of the Enterprise D they couldn't show on screen.
Really fulfill that promise of the god like power of star fleet that becomes shocking when you apply imagination

Job ads should have a "how many clicks before I see the salary" number next to them.

Making job applicants pretend they aren't interested in the salary is such a bizarre fantasy to indulge. We should be able to call it a religion and tell them it's inappropriate at work.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

I love love love that they hired a painter to do these portraits and then acknowledged her by name. Artists of all kinds supporting each other is so beautiful.

2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante 1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD. [drawing] message that reads: hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3 2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of "not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers! [drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read: “hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic

this looks like one of those ads out of the N64 era

Love to see some Tanith Lee love on the timeline from @ironspike.bsky.social She also wrote two great Blake's 7 episodes, "Sarcophagus" and "Sand". She's a super underated Author these days and deserves a look!

A tote bag with a portrait of James Connolly printed on it

Whoever has him for Kris Kindle I'm just saying you already know he's into my tote bags and James Connolly, you should pick him up this little number I did for @lnbdublin.bsky.social

A lego C3P0 moments before his needless death, internally lit with red eyes, meaning he is speaking the Forbidden sith language to decipher an inscription on a knife. He sits on a chair surrounded by a pit droid and the counter workshop of Babu Frick.

Someone should check on whoever at Lego does their Star Wars advent callendars. Are they ok?

This is the first year where every day has been a disapointment.

So far its themed around that scene where J.J. Abramas killed C3P0.

Which is certanly a choice.

TIL that Alexander Siddig (previously Julian Bashir on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE, currently a series regular on FOUNDATION s3) is Malcolm McDowell’s nephew, something that is impossible to unsee now that Siddig is in his sixties.

(Yes, THAT Malcolm McDowell, CLOCKWORK ORANGE etc)

Food Banks seeing increasing demand.

Billionaires getting richer.

These 2 things are connected; all directly caused by @ukparliament.parliament.uk ‘s refusal to tackle unsustainable wealth.

MP’s complain about “abuse” when the majority of them should be jailed as traitors to humanity.

Knowing enough to recognise any one of these means your nerd cred is more than intact with me.

We had a nice run of Star Wars films at X-mas. I miss that.

A Dominion "End Transmission" screen. Noteable for the multicolor text

Its generally not all one color on screen if I remember correctly where the others tend to be color uniform.

I think having it allways be multi color speaks to how long they have had a stable and top down culture.

No variation, no one needing to put words anywhere without access to a lit pannel.

The dominion language was the only one that took me a second. But their symbol being embedded in the language is a nice big clue when you look.

I snuck that Borg font into so many things as young graphic designer. 😅

Quite pleased with myself that I can recognise nearly all of these immediately.

Painfully aware that no one on earth is impressed. 😅

Last Trek Trivia of the year. It’s tough!

Romulan and Ferengi are swaped. I know that much.

The Ferengi are a race of contract writers and were thought of as such from their inception so the paragraphs flow to clauses and sub paragraphs to visually demonstrate the complexity.

(Assuming I remember the tng tech manual correctly)

If you see this post a Spider-Man.

Man, if those maga chuds could read they would be SO embarrassed.

I wanna get X-mas cards with this on it.
