Where gnome has gone before

Okay, we're going to swing back into pop culture for our gnomepunk as we round the clubhouse turn this week, but we're sticking with the garden gnome, so it's all cricket. The pop culture milieu is a bit surprising - Star Trek, or at least the comic book version thereof. That's right:
Star Trek + gnomes = gnomepunk.


The guy in the from is a fairly garden-variety garden gnome - maybe his boots are a little shiny and he has a vest instead of a smock, but the conical red cap and the big white beard seals it. Now take a look at his attacker: no beard, brown hair, furry hat, wristbands, wielding a wicked double-morningstar, and riding a freakin' bat! (A slavering vampire bat, from the looks of him.) That, my friends, is some true-blue, Hodgkin's-Law-of-Parallel-Planetary-Development-explained gnomepunk.

Star Trek #16 from Marvel Comics was apparently once owned by Ian Gonzalez at the Unwinnable blog.
