Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"After filming, the Bird of Prey model disappeared, which may account for the Romulans showing up in Klingon D7 cruisers in the third-season episode “The Enterprise Incident.”"
Rumor has it that the OG model was destroyed by the creator as part of a union dispute.

"The original model Bird-of-Prey was destroyed by the model maker, Wah Ming Chang.
Herb Solow and Robert Justman's book Star Trek: The Inside Story explains that a union grievance had been filed for a non-union contractor selling props to the production. After the one appearance was filmed, the model was returned to Chang without him being paid or receiving credit for his work and he destroyed the model himself."
Dude, I love Trekkies
