Or, "Komos Contemplating a Bust of the Gorn" (snooty cultural reference - https://tinyurl.com/t3v7h43 )
A few years back I acquired a Gorn mug from the Goodwill store next door. (Everyone should live next to a Goodwill store!) I saw a reptile head in the window - Must buy! Mine mine mine! - and didn't realize who it was until I got it back to the apartment.
When I - excuse me, when Komos cosplayed as the Gorn at Furthemore earlier this month it just seemed appropriate to bring it along. ("I look nothing like thisss - the foolsss got it all wrong - hissss!)

I really didn't have the Gorn in mind when I commissioned 
artslave to build Komos. (He's modeled on RL Komodo dragons.) But when I heard Furthemore's theme this year was sci-fi, how could I resist?
I remember being very disappointed watching Star Trek when the Gorn didn't have a sizeable tail to whip around; Komos more than makes up for that!

I bailed on Star Trek several iterations ago, I think after watching a season & a half of DS9; I assume he was much better looking in Enterprise. (Maybe they'll come up with some genetic-babble retconning to explain the different appearance between the two, like they did for TOS Klingons vs TNG ones.)
Years ago, at a PhilCON, I recall the Starfleet and the Klingon fan clubs were at tables side by side, with the then-upstart Romulans next to them at a smaller table. Everyone was in costume and recruiting. As there was an unused table nearby, I left a cheap quartz point on the table, next to a sign reading 'Join the Tholians!'.
Someone else, getting into the joke, placed a ripped-up piece of cardboard next to my sign which had crudely crayoned on it 'YOU JOIN GORN!'
