Teaser
Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. We’re to post
two random sentences from our current reads. Mine happens to be from Star Trek: The Newspaper Comics.
Both
sentences are from Spock, referring to chess:
“I
wouldn’t call it brooding . . . But I have estimated the probability of your
beating me at 47.3%” —p. 122.
Most
people don’t remember the Star Trek comic strips that started in 1979. Since the stories would continue from one comic
strip to the next, this collection has the feel of a graphic novel, composed of
a number of short stories. As the cover
above shows, the artwork was more than decent for a daily strip.
Nice teaser. Never knew Star Trek had a newspaper strip. Thanks for sharing.

That's a very Spock-like quote! Good (and unusual) Teaser.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser today is from KEEPSAKE.
I don't remember these. How long did they last?
ReplyDeleteJudging from the titles, the comic strip lasted until 1983. I'm only about a fourth of the way through the first volume, so I haven't seen the comic strips I remember reading back then.
