I was going through some old issues of Previews, a catalog of comic
books, etc, that Diamond Comic Distributors puts out every month so
people can see what they want to order from their local comic book
shops.  In the November 2015 issue, page 139, was IDW Comics' "IDW
January Checklist", and to the left was a column featuring a cartoon/
caricature of D'irk W'ood, "Lt. of Marketing", with the following
word bubbles (note: written in comic book style all caps, despite
case being important to Klingon):

[1] DIS CHU' DATIVJAJ HOCH! 'E' LATLH TIN WA' IDW 'E' LAY'! QASTAH LOT
CHONAYTA' 'EJ JANUARY NEH 'OH....

[2] WA'DICH PAQDI'NORGH LUCHENMOHMEH HOCH, DIS 50TH ANNIVERSARY HOV
TREK!  VAJ NEJ LOT QAS LATER DIS.  'ACH WA'DICH, HA' VIGHEL PUS JANUARY
PAQ.  STARTING GHAH. !?  JEM HURGH

** TRANSLATED FROM KLINGON: HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!  THIS PROMISES
TO BE ANOTHER BIG ONE FOR IDW!  A LOT IS HAPPENING ALREADY, AND THIS
IS ONLY JANUARY.  FIRST OF ALL, THIS YEAR IS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
STAR TREK!  SO, LOOK FOR A LOT HAPPENING ALL YEAR LONG!  BUT FIRST,
LET'S TALK ABOUT A FEW OF OUR JANUARY BOOKS.  STARING WITH...  DARK
JEM!?

Clearly, they weren't trying very hard at all, like how they didn't
notice that "LOT" didn't translate and just came straight through,
heck even "TREK" didn't translate?  Still, presented here for
completeness' sake.
