Gene's Journal is a Star Trek-related webcomic by David Reddick, creator of The Trek Life.
Gene's Journal presents the fictionalized exploits of a young Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, and his encounters with genuine extra-terrestrials.
New strips are added to Roddenberry.com every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Characters[]
- Gene
- A young Gene Roddenberry, frequently visited by aliens intent on studying Human behavior.
- Agent 6 and Agent 4
- Two aliens sent to study Human life on Earth. Agent 6 (orange uniform) appears to be the superior to Agent 4 (yellow uniform).
- Jenny
- A girl who attends the same school as Gene.
- Esther
- Gene's nemesis in the campaign for school president
- Miss Chapel
- An attractive teacher at Gene's school.
Miss Chapel is presumably named for Nurse Christine Chapel. Gene's attraction to her appears to be a reference to the real-life Gene Roddenberry's marriage to Majel Barrett, the actress who portrayed Nurse Chapel.
- Questor
- A robot created by Agents 4 and 6, designed to imitate Gene.
