Star Trek - Strange New Dumb Comics #74

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

i'm watching ds9 in italian for the first time, I got to the point where Julian meets garak for the first time.

I don't know if "enjoyable company" is an actual euphemism for sexual intercourse in the english language, but "gradevole compagnia", which is what garak says in the italian dubbing, DEFINITELY IS.

Also Garak wears lifts along with his padded bra (did you see his chest on L?)

tbh, my only question about the lwd au garashir is why Garak is taller. like I ain't mad and I don't mind, but like, is one of them just a different height to the prime counterparts?? did someone deliberately make the hologram shorter than the man he's based of off?? was Garak well fed in his timeline and had the nutrients for a growth spurt?? is there a reason or am I over thinking??

I showed my parents this and they said I was being extreme 😂😂😂

TNG | 5.05

More DS9 shenanigans and canoodling in the Sim world.

Garak is writing a love letter to Dr. Bashir.

Enabran Tain is eating his omelette with yamok sauce.

Garak has just discovered the long lost Cardassian erotic novel "Serving the State on Your Knees".

Speaking of literature, Garak and Julian's book club seems to be thriving.

Though they not always agree...

Anyway, the good doctor agreed that Garak can sketch him naked. For science or perhaps for fashion, one of these two...

In the end, Garak sketched something like a weird Cardassian riding a fish.

But Julian did not seem to mind. The boy is too easy to please...

Last night, I printed and colored my very own Dream Date Garak. Now I won’t be alone this Valentine’s Day !

Also super amazing to see fanart from 1997 circulating the internet. The original artist is Nancy Lee and if I can find their art accounts online I will link them.
