More Tales From Mission Control
As I said last week, “Normally I’d post this in the blog down below, but I think a lot of people miss the extra stuff I include about the Strang Institute where we monitor Ellie’s progress. I’m going to post more about Ellie’s history and goings on at Mission Control right here. Don’t worry though, it won’t take the place of any comics. It’s all extra stuff for you to enjoy.”
If you want to know more about Ellie’s history, Mission Control, and the Strang Institute, click here, or visit the Extra! Extra! link in the menu at the top of the page and click on Ellie Extras. Have fun!
This is lovely, Jim! Have you found that more people are seeing these now that you’re posting them in your comic stream?
Thanks, Steve! It’s hard to say if more people are seeing them. Clearly more people are aware of them when they’re up in the comic stream, but I don’t know how many people were just scrolling down to the blog and seeing them there without clicking.
Yeah, I love Johnny! Whoo hoo!
Thanks, Tom!
Given the similarity in names, did her parents name her after the lovely Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura on the original Star Trek, thus destining her for a space-related career, or is that just one of those wonderful mysterious coincidences?
Michelle is about the right age for that, seeing she was born right around the time Star Trek aired. Let me ask . . .

Though her parents deny it, Michelle says that the evidence is overwhelming in favor that she was named after Star Trek’s communications officer. They have several cats with names like Harry Mudd and Riker, who her father often calls Number One.
