A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

Apparently she was going to leave the show but Martin Luther King himself persuaded her to stay as it was so important that black people be seen on TV - "a door has been opened that absolutely must not be allowed to close". It's hard to imagine Star Trek without Uhura (with her little ear-plug in) saying "there's Klingons on the starboard bow" - did she ever say that or did The Firm just make it up for their brilliant #1 hit Star Trekkin' ?
