There are a lot of things going on in this strip. First of all, notice the background? In the first Star Trek series, everything on alien worlds was shot in the studio with a matte backdrop that was painfully obvious. I chose to emulate that here by using my normal “stage” backdrop without any post-production enhancement. The stage is a cardboard box lid lined with printer paper.
Barry Allen was the first Flash, who died in DC’s epic Crisis on Infinite Worlds and saved the Universe at the same time.
And you just knew that Kirk, Spock, and the others had a pool going on how redshirts were going to die, didn’t you?
