The beloved Star Trek genius and gay rights activist is presently starring in the Dick Tracy comic landing strip as George Tawara . Now , before you ask how could Takei star in a newsprint laughable strip under a unlike name : 1 ) hold back out the nontextual matter above ( that ’s as closely as Dick Tracy gets to photorealism ) ; 2 ) this comic plot line is about a WWII Nipponese internement camp that was found after a lake was run out , and Takei and his family were actually interned in one such camp during the warfare ; and 3 ) after Takei ’s character was introduce in the strip yesterday , a reference distinctly modeled after Takei ’s husband Brad Altman appeared today . Also , Takei made an announcement on Facebookregarding the comic , if that help win over you :
start last Sunday ( Jan. 13 ) , and continuing for about two month , the Dick Tracy comic strip on Sundays is boast a plot line demand me and my husband Brad . I appear under the name “ George Tawara . ” The story has a WWII poundage connexion , and we are really esteemed to be a part of it .
Between this and Archie ’s Kevin Keller comics , I think Takei ’s about one Batman squad - up away from reign their full culture medium . Today and yesterday ’s Dick Tracy comics are place below for your convenience .
