Captain's Dog

Panel 1: Captain Kirk is lying in a biobed, eyes shut, covered in scars. "Ouch!" he thinks, "Where am I?" A voice offscreen says, "Oh, the poor thing!".

Panel 2: More voices offscreen say, "He was so brave today!" and "Isn't he cute?" and "Shhh, you'll wake him!". Eyes still closed, Kirk realises he is in Sickbay.

Panel 3: Kirk sits up in bed in a heroic pose, revealing further scars all over his bare torso. "Don't worry about me," he says. "I'm fi-"

Panel 4: Kirk's attention has been caught by something offscreen and suddenly he looks dismayed and absolutely pathetic.
