There was a one panel cartoon in an old _Starlog_ magazine issue, about the time of ST:TMP where they had almost this same thing. Except Daffy was Bones, Bugs was Spock (he already has the ears), Elmer was the captain, Porky was Scotty (“I’m having trouble with the di-di-di…uh, no power, captain!”) the road runner was Uhura, and the Klingon adversary was Kosemite Kham. They all had dialog panels that fit both the 'toon characters and the ST characters. It worked really well. ---
