WARNING OLD INFERIOR ART!However I love it for the sheer number of references I crammed in there!
Can you find them all?
Also, do you think this requires a redraw with added references?
-B!

"WARNING OLD INFERIOR ART!"
Yeah, I can totally see how this is different from what you're drawing right now. Like how the... stuff... and the colors... and the boobs... Totally different.

Your consistent ability to bring out the Yum in Klingon women never ceases to amaze me. Hope you keep on plying your skills with the ladies of Trek.
Although Ferengi women might be beyond saving, even for you.

Okay. This may sound odd, but I have to comment on this pic because of the sheer bliss of pointing out references.
Panel 1: As someone pointed out, the Satellite of Love from Mystery Science Theater 3000, a ship with "NC-17" on the dish, and what may be a Y-Wing off to the left? Maybe I'm reading too much into that one. And of course it's referencing the Battle of Wolf 359.
Panel 2: If I could find my old "How to Speak Klingon" book I might be able to see if that's a real word. Digging the dress for obvious reasons... and the pathetic human is in a movie-era uniform... In the Engineering/OPS branch... but missing pips.
Panel 3: Oh so much... My brain can't decide if it wants to read that in Alex Trabek's voice or Dathon's... But he DOES have a Trabek mustache, so I'll go with that. The bot is obviously a classic Cylon Centurion (Either from the classic Battlestar Galactica or a "Mark I" from the newer series). His name is that of George Lucas' first film, THX-1138. Aaaaaannnd, I had to look it up, but M'Ress was a character from the old Star Trek Animated series.
Shoo... There. Unless I missed something, the trivia side of my brain is sated.
I have to say, I've been meaning to watch you for a long time. I've been a fan for years now (back when I was checking your web site every month for wonderful morsels of Trasnformers or World of Warcraft art). You have this wonderful blend of cute, sexy, nerdy and just plain fun that I adore.

Nope, not a Y-Wing, although I do like that design!
It's just a quickly drawn Star Fleet ship.
The letters in Klingon spell out Trogdor (without the o's).
Oh yeah... pips... dang it!
I'd read it in either voice really. Both are fun.
And you did quite well noting all the various things in the page!
Thanks for all the attention!

The Catgirl int he bottom panel?
That's M'Ress from the ST: Animated Series.

The Animated series isn't the best, but it's got a couple good episodes, and it's entertaining in just how cheep the animation can be and how insane the stories are.

Oh, the updated Madness you could cause with a redraw!
Redraw, I say! Have at, good sir!

Klingon Wheel of Fortune and Tamarian Jeopardy, LOL. And Hello Klingon Vanna White.

Okay...
First panel, that's the Satellite of Love. ;_;
Second panel... I'd be curious what that word is. Also the woman's outfit is probably a reference.
Third, The Cylon, the Star Trek catgirl lady and I guess the Tamarans are from that TNG episode where Picard was stuck on a planet with a guy whose language relied on literary metaphors.
Oh, and that's a line from the Hungarian Phrasebook sketch.
THX-1138 was the directorial debut of George Lucas and... I don't suppose Lt. O'Malley is a reference to Bryan Lee O'Malley? (This would have been before Scott Pilgrim scored a film version.)
Also weird to note the Starfleey ships both have what look like bite marks taken out of them.

I think it's perfect the way it is. I really loved your old art and actually miss those old stories.

Simply gorgeous art -- and some great references!Β Thanks for sharing!

I think it's great as it is, and rather than a redraw I'd always prefer something new.
Torture the poor guy by putting him through even more horrible experiences haha.

First: Β it's one of my favorite of your (and it's a LOT of drawing, I watch your work from years, many years, when you did your own comics and website)
Second: I'm fond of your Klingon women and the humor in this comic. True your style was "crunchy", but there is taste and it's charming, the expressions are great.
third: you should always recreate them, to show your progress. It removes nothing of the qualities of the old, it brings us a new fresh view.

how I could say in english ? more "sketchy" ? Colors was more wild, vibrant, less shading, line art slightly less well defined than in your recent works.
and I still dream to commission you, even after all these years.

"Hovercraft full of eels" means "matches for cigarettes" in Hungarian, acoording to Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Whenever I see a hot Klingon girl, it always makes me wonder if Riker ever scored that threesome he proposed in the officer exchange episode.

It's Riker.
He did!

Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, at least two different Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, Star Trek the Animated Series (M'Ress), the original Battlestar Galactica, "THX-1138," Mystery Science Theater 3000 (the Satellite of Love in the first panel)...
What did I miss?
More references? Of course! Consider it a challenge!

There's also a Homestar Runner ref, but it's hard to read.

I always liked your scratchier art style. Reminded me of 80's comics
