Trek-themed comic strip

[The Mirrorball Man]

I don't know if anybody here is interested in that kind of thing, but the latest installment of my comic strip has a Star Trek flavor.

You can see it here.

Actually, I'd rather have people tell me that they hate it than for it to be totally ignored.

Please?

Well, I like it. I'm not sure I get the joke, but I like the style of it.

Thank you! You're now officially my new best friend!

I'm up for seeing more, also like the style. Your starfleet officer seems a bit out of shape, too

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the punchline here is that Jedi historically seem to have a far worse shelf-life than Trekkian redshirts. Do I have this right?

Well, there's a lot more to see, this is a weekly comic strip, but this one is the only one that has anything to do with Star Trek, which is why I posted it here.

The joke here is that the guy on the left seems to be afraid of the social consequences of being seen with a geeky Star Trek fan, while he himself is a geeky Star Wars fan. It's a mote and beam joke.

That's right, everybody laugh at the expense of the red shirt.
