Capt James T Kirk Speaks #9


One of the things I personally enjoyed most about 
Captain Kirk was his over acting.  That and the way he,
Mr. Spock, Doc. McCoy and Scotty, seemed to always 
have fun making each episode and the fact they
 were always able to stay in character.

Tomorrow, onto the bridge.

George demands his rights. #8


yes.... I did draw that picture of the 
Star ship Enterprise.

I have changed the name of this comic strip or
 graphic novel thingy to "IT'S A TRAP!"
  Because that was a famous line from one of the many 
Star Wars movies.  Why would I do this?
Because if it were not for Star Trek, 
I feel there would never have been any Star Wars
 movies.  I know lots of Star Wars fans would argue
 with me on that point but that is just 
my humble opinion.  
Beside the new title is kind of catchy.

I have a feeling that Columbo is going to be disappointed that there is no real coffee on board the Enterprise keeping in mind that they are millions of miles from the nearest Star Bucks.  Since I no longer drink coffee, I am sort of living vicariously through my characters.

My Son, Dan, asked me yesterday why George and Columbo were shanghaied or abducted to the Enterprise, I told him because I thought it would be fun.  But the real reason will appear next week and it will become obvious at that point.

In the Transporter Room #7

*********************
After two days, Columbo and George have been transported to the USS Enterprise about a million miles from Earth.  In a comic strip like this, it takes a wee bit longer to be transported than in the television show, because this is reality.

On the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise #6





















Drawing the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise I have found is very complicated and if you Google Images of the Bridge you will find many many versions of the Bridge.  I did notice one thing all the blinking lights in the back ground so that is why I chose to show the bridge with all those colored dots.

The idea of a bunch of rats watching kitten videos on youtube was too much to pass up.

Anyway in this picture is Capt Kirk on the far left, Mister Spock, Chekov and Sulu standing.
I will be adding the other familier crew members as I go along.  Next up George and Columbo energize into the Enterprise and a brave new world for them.  Imagine their reaction.

Up to the mother ship #5



I was going to just take George up to the USS Enterprise but then I started hearing conversations in my head between Spock and Columbo.  At times I hear so many funny conversations in my head between the many characters I have created.  Just the thought of those two polar opposites in the same room driving each other bonkers...it was such a delightful thought I could not resist. 

So anyway, George and Columbo are now on their marry way to the Star Ship Enterprise and tomorrow they will enter a brand new world.  At the same time in the near future the Crew of the Enterprise will be doing battle with my own Nemesis Chuck.

most illogical #4


 Along time ago in a galaxy, far far away.....


















    


 I guess I have stepped away from doing simple
 cartoons and doing almost a comic book here or a graphic novel.
 (A very short graphic novel).

Mostly I am just having some fun depicting iconic TV characters as rats, it has been an experiment on my part to see if I could do it and to see what they would look like.  It has been kind of fun for a sick old guy of 68. 

With that thought in mind, tomorrow I will attempt to produce my most challenging cartoon ever. 

RATS IN OUTER SPACE! 

Including Capt Kirk, Spock and the the entire Enterprise crew, and a new member of the crew, George.  

Are we to assume that Capt Kirk and crew just looked at stars on that big screen TV, who will be the evil nemesis for the brave crew of the USS Enterprise?   Could it be Chuck, the thing I call the cancer in my stomach?  I think it will be chuck.  
Can the rat crew beat chuck in the battle of the galaxy or will the rats flee the sinking ship?

Lieutenant Columbo #3

"There are a couple of loose ends I'd like to tie up.
Nothing important you understand."
Columbo


The real reason I have been doing this series of cartoons 
was just to see what Columbo would look like as a rat.
That plus, I just liked Peter Falk as the detective Columbo and hope that they never resurrect the character and try to get someone else to play the part like they did in the movies the Pink Panther.
