/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Well I didn't expect to actually find an answer, but apparently the artist regularly includes little objects like that in his comics. The number next to his signature is supposed to indicate how many there are to find.
For example, here's another one with the pie in it, with a number "1" indicating it's the only one.
That's deep sauce you served, honor to your tiny pie
So the third would be the eyeball next to Spock.
Yeah, and I assume the little alien in the upper right counts too?
Kang or Kodos?
I think it's partly marketing ... very clever marketing and brain hooks ... I just went to the comic website and looked at a few comics and yes most of them show that number and the cleverly hidden objects. But some of the comics don't have the same number of hidden objects (eg: some list 5 but you can only find 4) ... unless I'm doing it wrong and I just can't see it.
If the artist did purposefully list 5 things but only show 4 ... it would drive viewers mad trying to find something that isn't there. It would also become a very memorable comic because it would bug people so much they would keep going back to it again and again.
It's like that old college/high school prank people used to pass around years ago ... you release three big fat dirty pigs into a school and let them run wild. You spray paint each pig with a number .... 1, 2 and 4. Chances are authorities or school workers will find the three pigs but they'll take a bit of extra time looking for Pig #3 before realizing it didn't exist.
