Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Since there's no "Lord StarTron" in Star Trek, I'm guessing this is just a 0 mask. Why put it there?

Your average normie's gonna look at that and say: "Star Trek BS, I don't wanna think that much," and forget all about it.
Your average Trekkie's gonna mention it to every other Trekkie they know, and thus expand the reach of the flyer. Everyone has at least one Trekkie friend.
The intended recipient's gonna look up "Lord StarTron", see nothing, and then out of desperation just add the birthday to the mask and try that number (which is the right answer)

It's a reference to an actual note someone put up and is basically calling them a giant nerd instead of leaving a normal message like "hey, found wallet, call this number". Although in fairness, the idea is actually pretty interesting because it creates an easy cypher only the intended recipient can crack, thus filtering out cons.

The original note was almost identical, MINUS the Star Trek part.
