I am a huge Star Trek fan. I have been ever since my dad introduced me to it when I was a kid. There was just something about the show that spoke to me. There really is a magical quality to Star Trek, which is how it has remained alive for close to 50 years…

I Learned Something From a Comic (Again)
“How come boys have buttons on one side and girls have buttons on the other side?” What a great question. I’ve often wondered why this is so as well.
