    Wait! I just noticed that Molly was born in 2368 and O’Brien transferred to DS9 in 2369.

    Molly is quite precocious to be talking like that at less than a year old.

      Worf’s son Alexander was born in 2366 and was fighting in the Dominion war by 2374, at 8 years old, so I think he has her beat on precociousness.

      When the joke is consistently “no one likes you and someone else is having sex with your wife and fathering your child”, it stops feeling like a joke and starts seeming like a cuckold’s idle fantasies.

      I read a lot of these. Here’s my hot take: It’s not real. It’s not canon. This never happened to Miles O’Brien and never will.

      For me, personally, that’s enough to let me enjoy the absurd comedy.

    The first 5 panels are nice

    Just a reminder that the one time Worf operated the transporter Picard and Dr Crusher got transported straight to an enemy jail. No wonder O’Brien had to work long hours.

    If we take what is shown on DS9 at face value without imagining any other dialog, for every 20 times Miles is going on Holodeck adventures with Julian, he spends one time going on a picnic with his daughter.

      And then there’s the baby he had with Keiko and also Kira who he seems to ignore most of the time.
