Maybe there was more of the cultural sci-fi zeitgeist of the early 90’s going on with The Outrageous Okona than we gave the writers of that episode credit for…
The Outrageous Okona from the Star Trek TNG episode “The Outrageous Okona” lookin like a dollar store Han Solo figure half-melted in the sun with the world’s shittiest boom box. Worf is also there.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Star Trek TAS is scientifically proven to be the closest thing to experiencing a fever dream while awake and this one literally has pink elephants in it sooo... does it make a coherent story at least? Well...uhh....

Digital illustration for episode art for the M-Class Podcast episode covering Star Trek: The Animated Series’ “Eye of the Beholder.” Jeff lays prone in the extreme foreground wearing a red operations division Starfleet uniform while holding a communicator. In the mid background a weird ass red and pink slug/elephant alien creature called a Lactran carried aloft Josh wearing a blue sciences division Starfleet uniform who mostly looks annoyed looking back at it. In the far background outside the window of the strange environment is a 70’s style Herculoids-esque monster dying melodramatically while clutching its chest. The M-Class Podcast logo and episode ID is on a black line which crosses the image in the bg. Art by Jeff Pennington.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

How Trip get pragnent? After dipping his fingies into a bowl of rock candy with a weirdo alien, Trip Tucker gets dude-pregnant and everyone kinda giggles about it like schoolchildren but we're left with... questions.

Digital art used as episode art for the M-Class Podcast ep covering Enterprise’s season 1 episode “Unexpected.” It’s “how is babby formed” but with Trip Tucker and Captain Archer as the cavemen. If this makes no sense to you I can’t really explain it any better and if it does make sense to you I know how stupid it is. Art by Jeff Pennington.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Kira is giving birth to the O'Brien's kid, Odo is raising a sick baby changeling, and ODO'S AWFUL DAD IS HERE? Uhhhh ooohhhhhh!! Wait is this a "forgive your terrible dad" episode in disguise...?

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

When the world's most obvious Han Solo knockoff shows up on the Enterprise there's sure to be some WACKY HIJINKS - but can even that flimsy premise save us from Joe Piscopo's Jerry Lewis impression? What an episode, man.…

Digital illustration for episode art for M-Class Podcast’s review of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The Outrageous Okona.” Done in the style of a Dungeons & Dragons character sheet with tons of little jokes all over it in “pencil” and a scratchy “pencil” sketch of Okona himself in the portrait box.

As the Phoenix and USS Enterprise E near the speed of light the doppler shift of our sun (Sol) shifts to blue. What a great detail from a great movie!

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Back to TV shows! Bones delivers a baby that can change the fate of a warrior world! But not as exciting as that sounds and with way worse costuming than you would imagine. But is it still worth watching?

on.soundcloud.com/vNQyVBzt2SKC...
Episode art created for M-Class Podcast's review of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Friday's Child." Hosts Jeff Pennington and Josh Henderson was showcased standing on the bridge of a darkened Enterprise. Jeff is looking at the down at the viewer with his arms behind his back while wearing an operations red Starfleet uniform. Josh is faced away from the camera wearing a sciences blue uniform and staring emptily at a monitor screen which shows a photograph of the baby from this episode with an aiming reticle on it, text above it reading "Target: Baby" and below "Phasers Locked." This isn't a joke about killing babies as much as its a joke about how unbelievably incompetent Scotty and the Enterprise crew were this episode. Art by Jeff Pennington.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

We've finally reached the modern day of Star Trek comics (sorta)! But we're also treading back into the dangerous lands of the Kelvinverse. Can this comic be better than the sum of its parts? Ehh...

Digital illustration of the hosts Jeff and Josh in a comic book panel drawn in a somewhat similar style to the first issue of IDW Publishing’s Star Trek comic series, volume 1. Jeff is in the foreground leaning forward while wearing an Operations red uniform from Star Trek 2009 with a word bubble emanating from him stating “IDW #1”, the episode title. Josh is in the background hunkered forward in a Science’s blue uniform and a stern look on his face. The M-Class podcast logo resides in the bottom right.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

At some point between TMP & Search for Spock the comics rights for Trek fell to DC Comics - but did they boldly go where the movies hadn't gone before? And if so, how wall-eyed are our beloved TOS characters in it? LISTEN AND LEARN!

Digital illustration used for M-Class Podcasts episode covering DC Comics' Star Trek vol. 1 #1. Depicted is host Josh slapping the ever-loving shit out of host Jeff while wearing inaccurate TOS movie costumes in a too-brightly colored hallway. The image is covered in comic-accurate ben-day dots and outlined like a comic panel. The word "SLAP!" appears as a sound sfx in the top right corner, the logo for M-Class Podcast in the top left, and a word bubble from Josh saying "DC Comics #1" appears below that.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Remember Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Well now you don't have to! Marvel Comics brings us a scene-for-scene remake of TMP with some heavy hitters who are phoning it in harder than E.T. But should you rush to newsstands to buy it for a nickel?

Available everywhere!
Digital art mimicking old overprinted 1970’s comic book art for used as episode art for M-Class Podcast’s review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture #1 published by Marvel Comics. The hosts have replaced Kirk and Bones but retain their costumes. Josh asks “WE’RE DOIN’ COMICS NOW?” And Jeff identifies the episode title “MARVEL COMICS #1.” Art by Jeff Pennington.

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

We're doing a BRAND NEW thing and branching out into comics for the very first time with the 1967 Gold Key Comics published "Star Trek #1!" Did the writer of the first ever Trek comic even watch the show ONCE??

On iTunes, Spotify, & SoundCloud!
Episode art for Star Trek podcast “M-Class Podcast” and their review of Gold Key Comics “Star Trek #1.” Drawn in the style of the first ever Star Trek comic that the show is covering the hosts appear in the right of a wide comic book panel with concerned looks on their faces wearing the excursion outfits the Enterprise crew members wear on the away mission in the comic. A strange red sci-fi device resides in the bottom left corner amongst heavy shadows which extend to the metal wall in the background. A square word balloon with rounded edges emanates from the host in front with “GOLD KEY COMICS #1” within it. Art by Jeff Pennington.

You say Mugato and I say Gumato, you know the old chestnut. But what about when two of them are banging against a log you're hiding in? Then what will you be saying? "Hot"? Put yourself to the test on this episode!

Digital illustration in the style of the TV series "Star Trek: Lower Decks" created for use as episode art for M-Class Podcast's review of the episode "Mugato, Gumato" by Jeff Pennington. Depicted is a Ferengi wearing glasses with a beard (patterned after host Jeff) who is also wearing a Mugato pelt tied together with a gold necklace, and gloves which he's shown wringing his hands together in. He has a wide shit-eating grin on his face and his eyes narrowed. An alien customer is cut off in the foreground looking back over his shoulder at him. Text reads: M-CLASS PODCAST MUGATO, GUMATO
