think owning a beetle qualifies as being handicapped.

Photon torpedoes?! Wow! Your Klingon Attack Cruiser is really cleverly disguised as an old-style Beetle—even better than cloaking!

They look like very old, and they drive an old Volkswagen. It’s their right to be considered disabled.

@dukedoug: You got that right!

it’s all about risk – around here there is much less risk of getting a ticket from parking NEXT TO THE DOORS then in a disabled parking spot in a lot TEN STEPS AWAY- so that’s what all the lazy SOB’s do.

If you’ve illegally parked in the handicap spot, aren’t you then qualified as morally handicapped? Shoulda used the cloaking.

VW Beetle…0 to Warp 7 in about …..well that ain’t really gonna happen now is it…

How come most people with handicapped placards drive like the handicap is mental? That shouldn’t qualify you for special parking privileges.

Hey, um. I know how much people like to gripe in comments sections. I just thought I’d point out something that folks seem to be missing….

WOO-HOO! COLOR!

Ever hear a VW Beetle backfire?Just as deadly as photon torpedoes!

My Mom was standing in line at the grocery store and the womn behind her was commenting about a car in the handicapped space with no handicapped tag. My Mom said she just figured that if the handicap isn’t physical it must be mental. The woman in front of her turned around and, in a huff, said “Well, I never!”

Bowdlerization alert! Portnoy actually called “Spock” a putz.

The rabbit, especially in the third panel, bares some likeness to Bill the Cat. Hmm.

I’d think to raise the shields before loading the photon torpedoes.

I like the Interpoop episodes.

I am amazed, and really really happy that the Volkswagen people in the final strip or I mean in the final panel were willing to play along so happily, I mean it’s brilliant that the old lady was willing to fight back, so awesomely life can be fun. Sometimes you just gotta play along dan a.k.a.…
