How to Draw Attention to a Terrible Wrong

July 21, 2025 by Scott Meyer

NOTE: Patreon subscribers receive a commentary with each comic. In this case, I am including the commentary on my site as well, both as a sort of advertisement and because I feel a need to explain myself.

This is maybe one of those comics I did just for me. I hope you enjoyed it too, but really, it is just four panels of me reveling in my own geekery. But come on! Look at the guy’s IMDb page: It’s bonkers!

A few other notable projects he has appeared in:

Game of Thrones

Troy

Willow

The Crown

Blake’s 7

Magnum P.I.

Lovejoy … YES! FRIGGIN’ LOVEJOY!

Lately, I’m sort of liking the idea of giving people like him some appreciation while they’re still here to enjoy it. I would love to see an effort made to get him in to play some sort of antagonist (even if it’s only in one scene or voice work) in Star Trek, the MCU, the DCU, and the Orville.

I’m also not kidding about his awful costume on Space: 1999.  When I was a kid, Space: 1999 toys and merch were available, but it didn’t run on any of the Yakima stations, so I never got the chance to actually see the show. I could only imagine it. Lately, I’ve been working my way through the series, and let me tell you, the show itself is not great, but the making fun of it afterward on the phone to Ric is fantastic. Just last night, I watched Martin Landau passionately argue with three trees. Not puppet trees. Not guys in tree costumes. Just trees!

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Julian Glover’s costume. It was awful, but not the worst on the show. I really do feel like part of the show’s goal was to knock dignified actors down a peg.

Here’s how they treated Peter Cushing, Brian Blessed, Leo McKern, and Christopher Lee.
