So I’ve been feeling kind of depressed this weekend, and I mean clinically depressed, not wanting to do anything or go out or eat or whatever, but I’ve been doing some Star Trek stuff and it’s helping, so I thought I would finally take a look at this DS9 comic I got ages ago and then put to the side. Oh jeez! It is every bit as silly and ridiculous as I thought it would be and I love it! Basically the “plot” is Julian, Miles, Jadzia, Morn, and Odo are at Quark’s waiting on Worf to show up for some kind of little party where he’s the guest of honor. This is in the aftermath of “Trials and Tribble-ations” and as they drink they each begin offering supposedly true stories of the origin of the great enmity between Klingons and Tribbles. Miles’ tale is based on military history, Julian's is based on medicine, and Jadzia’s is based on an Indiana Jones type adventure Dax was involved in three centuries earlier. It is total shenanigans. The equivalent of a fanfic silly, but all illustrated.
I am going to do some real scans later, promise, but for now, just some snaps from my phone of things I find hysterical.
First page of the comic:
So ST Discovery has brought up all kinds of discussion of Klingon evolution, ridges, etc. but Julian’s story basically hinges on Tribbles.
From Jadzia’s story…
So, according to Jadzia, in a past life she was a Trill Indiana Jones
Miles says Klingons once kept Tribbles as pets… and well, the illustrator ran with that, shall we say?
These old comics are wicked cheap on eBay. Entertainment!
I wonder if there’s a way I can truly present this comic online. Maybe I can do a slide show movie that takes you through each story. It’s amazing.
