Sev Trek: The Comic Strip #46

Sev Trek: The Comic Strip

Jurassic Trek's medical foot pumping thingy! This cartoon began during my first viewing of "Where no man has gone before", the TOS pilot. Our first view of Kirk was at one of these contraptions, and I remember both Wendy and myself having a good belly laugh (pardon the pun!) When Wendy saw my previous cartoon about TOS medical thingies, her first reaction was "hey, I wonder what that foot pumping thing does". Hence this comic strip was born...

Other Punchlines

These comics are created from the winning entries of The Write Your Own Sev Trek Competition. The winning entry was written by Vastator of Borg (interesting name). When we decided this week's winner, I realised what I considered the ideal punchline (and hence why I generally choose these types for the winner). Each comic strip tries to explain a phenomena of Trek. The best punchlines explain the phenomena, but not directly, and usually in a snappy, catchy kind of way. I hope that helps and doesn't just confuse! Here are some of the other funniest entries...
