David Reddick (“Intelligent Life'”) made a desktop wallpaper when he was creating “The Trek Life” webcomic for STARTREK.COM, back around 2006. Carl was having a good old-fashioned Klingon Thanksgiving!  And from his Thanksgiving Sketchbook he had some fun re-drawing an old vintage MGM cartoon poster in his own style!

Bill Bettwy (“Take It From the Tinkersons”) hopes everyone had a better time finding something they liked to eat this Thanksgiving than Tillman in this animated short!

In other news…
