You know, I love this comic -- I mean, I love the thing as a whole, and I particularly like today's strip, which has a nice, dementedly sick sense of humor -- but every time I see the title of the strip, I get earwormed by this song... (Also, I have no idea who the "Green" referred to in the comic is.)
No ... no, this is NOT good strategy. On the other hand, it describes the first few years of my employment at a particular place to a T. Also, it's likely to lead to Desmond getting either disciplined or annexed. Or both.
It's going to be interesting to see how this character can be all of those archetypes at once. Especially since all of the rest contradict the first one.
One does wonder, especially once he started to get A Reputation ... what would it have been like to be a starship captain coming after Kirk and his Kirkly Kirkliness? (Come to think of it, it'll be worse for people following the rebooted Kirk. Imagine: as his first act, not even as a captain, he and his crew saved Earth, and possibly the entire federation. What does he do as an encore? [We'll find out next year.] And how do you follow that?)
