Chris Fenoglio, artist who worked on the Lower Decks ongoing comic book series, recreated the iconic pin-up of X-Men in swimsuits for the Lower Decks crew. Even some non-crew got featured (to fully recreate every detail of the original).

Thanks I was wondering what the book Boims was holding was about. It’s a very nice touch.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I figured it was a memoir. Six month prior to this episode’s release, The Autobiography of Mr. Spock by Una McCormack had been published. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/577045/the-autobiography-of-mr-spock-by-una-mccormack/

Was looking for the two in the back, than realized they are the dolphins.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Beluga whales, not dolphins.

It's (almost) Naked time!!!

(Yes I just watched this episode again)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That is ambiguous. You could be referring to three different episodes.

I love it ... and seeing how I always wanted to collect comics in the 90s as a teen but could never afford it, this is amazing.

The only thing lacking is the amount and prominence of torpedo breasts.

I would like to think we have evolved in our degeneracy over the decades since. Breasts of all shapes are to be appreciated.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Agreed ..... it was just a nostalgic thing. We analyzed those comic women like a science when I was in high school. We even studied among ourselves how to draw them. At first it was sexual (and it stayed that way with a lot of my friends) but a few of us became obsessed with trying to emulate the art style. Surprisingly it isn't easy to draw proportionally perfect body parts without making a character look weird or badly draw. The one thing it did teach me was to appreciate human anatomy more.

Oh it gets even worse when you're trying for dynamic poses and angles.

Glad to see love of comics sparked an attempt at getting artistic.

To the person who downvoted your comment:

It was probably that guy reading a book by the pool while still flashing his horga’hn.

Picard: This "whore gone" is defective.

I seriously wonder if he knows Riker asked him to get it as a prank.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I did not get the impression he did at the end of the episode, which is a definite "hilarious in hindsight" lol.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I do not like the implications that Badgey wearing a budgie smuggler has.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

This is specifically a homage to the X-Men swimsuit special. It would be only appropriate.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ransome looks like he's pannicking. wonder why.

Also everything going on and Tindi just out there vibing.

Horga’hn

OOooooo.

Yeeeaaaa. Ransom. Billups. Step away from the fertility idol.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Well the Risian seems to be shocking him.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

As someone who owned the original Marvel swimsuit comic, I approve.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Dr Katz should also be flexing :)

Also, who's Ransom with, and who are those three in the x-men universe? Don't recognize the woman next to Ice Man and the one riding Beast either.
