TEXT OF COMIC:
Hi, Abby. How are you?
Spock\u2019s response to his mother\u2019s question at the end of The Voyage Home.
Huh? What\u2019s up with your communication skills today?
The aliens in \u201cDarmok and Jalad.\u201d
You\u2019re\u2026 communicating only in obscure references to Star Trek.
Decker\u2019s answer to Kirk saying \u201cYou saved the ship\u201d in The Motion Picture.
And WHY exactly are you doing this?
The 74th Rule of Acquisition.
\u201cKnowledge equals profit?\u201d Okay, what the heck are you trying to build your knowledge for?
Kirk\u2019s exclamation after Spock\u2019s death.
Oh, that\u2019s right. You\u2019re going to a con.
