If they'd stayed and she had the baby, everyone would have laughed and clapped at the end when Spock they had witnessed the birth of a new life form!
The excitement was at a fever pitch when the movie was coming out. In the next few posts I'll be adding some strips of a newspaper comic called "Funky" which reflected the anticipation.

Actually, Frederick, the AJC was cheaping out on the name--the full name of the comic was "Funky Winkerbean", after its high-school-aged lead character... and the cartoonist was a definite Trek fan, like Bloom County's Berke Breathed, but a rarity back in the day. I had to keep a five-day strip where the computer (blinky tape-drive console) that "runs" Funky's HS puts on a Trek convention at the school.
Great job exposing your archives! I plan to do something similar from my own stuff at my soon-to-launch site.
Larry,
Thanks for the reminder! I had forgotten that the name of the strip was that.
I look forward to seeing your site, please let me know when it launches!
