@El Cid: there's a character like that in the anime Idiot Test. His friends keep a supply of blood on hand just in case.

@fallopiancrusader: If I had a George Takei figure it would have been along the lines of "Why am I getting a nosebleed? I'm GAY!" with McCoy replying "Some women have that effect on all males regardless of sexual preference Sulu." That gag was used in an anime I saw recently. There are also now female nosebleeds over super cute things. Then Sulu says "Why aren't you getting a nosebleed?" And McCoy saying "Dammit Sulu, I'm a doctor , not an anime character."

Thank God he doesn't have Cinemax! He'd die!

This whole comic is so "meta" that I thought it would be appropriate to deliberately mix the character up with the actor.

Lol, I had to look the nosebleed-causing-boobs trope. I always thought throwing up was hilarious but nosebleeds are even better!

I didn't want any confusion with George Takei so I used the Sulu from the reboot Star Trek movies.

The actor George Takei is gay. The character Sulu may not be.

"Surely not!" ...my favorite sulu line xD

You'd think that he would be indifferent to topless women, since he's gay. Unless he's a complete gynophobe.

Sulu just can't train away that anime nosebleed. His superiors love to assign him to meet partially nude women because that nosebleed is so funny. But they always make sure to send a doctor along.

Might get surprised but not act surprised. It could be considered rude and cause interstellar incidents.

You'd think with all the different cultures they encounter there would be a certain amount of self control and what not.
