Blue Warp Nacelles?

I've been meaning to post something about this for a couple of days, but it kept slipping my mind.

The cartoon strip Garfield has featured a sombrero rather prominently this week, further evidence of the Blue Warp Nacelles thread spreading its influence. You can see where it started with Monday's strip here.

Siesta Attack!

Now if we can only find a way to get mentioned by President Obama.

Apparently they've been having a sombrero on Garfield for a few weeks now.
This one seems to be a direct reference to Star Trek:

Whoever is in charge of the comic nowadays must be reading the TrekBBS.

This is the first time in years that I've derived genuine amusement from Garfield strips.

If PEANUTS and Charles Schulz were still around it would have been sweet to worm our way into that universe.

That is why GOD invented PhotoShop, my friend!

God invented it? Hmmmm. Guess that means violating THAT copyright entails some BIG-TIME consequences.

May I remind you of this, from the Trek Today entry of May 30 (in the links on the right side of this page):

[David] Reddick is familiar to Trek fans for his The Trek Life comic as well as Gene's Journal and Rod and Barry. Reddick works for Paws, Inc., where he works on the Garfield comic strip and merchandizing.

While the daily "Garfield" strips still feature Jim Davis' signature, he doesn't actually contribute all that much to the strip anymore. From what I've heard (from a number of artists who've worked for Davis), while everything still has to go through Jim and get his "Seal of Approval", most of the actual drawing and writing has been done by others for decades now. The actual work is done by guys like David Reddick, who has been known to visit this board from time to time, and might well be the genius behind the recent "Sombrero Arc" in the daily "Garfield" strips.

That is to say that it might not be a mere coincidence that Garfield has been sporting a sombrero of late.

BTW, I believe I may be the first poster to have used the phrase "Sombrero Arc". I just wanted to get that on the record.

You may now bow down to me.
