Is it Snoopy Trek day again already?

[Nebusj]

The Japanese Peanuts site is rerunning the Peanuts strip from the 7th of February, 1972, again, reminding us that Snoopy was a Trekkie way ahead of the curve. (The strip will change at midnight Tokyo time, but you should be able to get the strip anyway, from that site or from the main Peanuts web site.

Also, John Zakour and Scott Roberts's Maria's Day indicates that Maria feels much the same way Snoopy does.

Awesome. I had no idea such a day exsisted.

I remember 'Robotman' used to do occasionally parodies of whole Star Trek storylines, but with the protagonists replaced with anthropomorphic cats instead of humans.

In particular I remember a week of strips parodying "The Deadly Years", with the ultimate punchline on the Friday being the modern day Bill Shatner trying to wrestle the cure to aging from the anthropomorphic cat Kirk.

The 1970's strip "Funky Winkerbean" written by Tom Batiuk had a long-running gag related to STAR TREK. The school's computer would refuse to co-operate with the principal unless the principal dressed in a Starfleet uniform and spoke in Star Trek protocol. Funky's high school even hosted a STAR TREK convention circa 1980.
