Reading your comic is _so much weirder_ now that I know people you know --Dirk in this case, and he looks adorable (and young!)

Heh. I LOLed at the “Andrew accompanying” comment. You probably don’t remember me, but a few years ago I came to SanFran for some training, and took you (and your bodyguard Andrew) out to dinner. I was so nervous about meeting an idol of mine, I’m sure I didn’t make too much sense. And I could tell that Andrew was ready to karate-chop my neck at any time, if I showed signs of The Crazy… Anyway, I had a blast, and I still have the signed Narbonic books I got from you – my kids love ’em. Well, so do I, but you know what I mean.

@seaking Incorrect. The fandom was instrumental in getting TOS uncancelled for its third season. It’s true that it did not take on its present form until syndication in the 1970s, however.(Why do I know these things when I hate all things Trek? Know your enemy, I guess.)

Goodness, Andrew looks rather young to be testing Questionable Medical Devices.

Jon, I think Star Trek fan stuff didn’t even start until well after the series ended. That whole fandom grew up around reruns of the show in the ’70’s.

Hooray, Narbonicon!
It really helped me get my happy on!
The giant mall way up in Minnesota
We hadda go ta,
To meet our worshipful throng!
We did some practice vow-ing!
The fans were wow-ing!
Then J.C. Wells sang his Battle Song!

Hooray, Narbonicon!
We ate and drank and talked until the dawn!
'Twas such a great event, repeated yearly!
We loved it dearly!
It's sad to think that it's gone!
Still, that was fun to do!
(Why not Skin Horse, too?)
Hooray, Narbonicon!

(Leon, I think she's referring to the saying that "Misery loves company.")

I'm curious. Why did Narbonicons stop when Narbonic First Run did? Star Trek fanstuff didn't stop when Classic Trek ended.
