Homage to the Mork and Mindy sitcom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mork_%26_Mindy

Plus "Orson" looks like Orson Welles.

Oh, I thought you meant the strip title. That is from Monty Python.

Sorry, I meant "Le Comite de Securite Publique"

I think I saw Sarek in today's strip. At least, that Vulcan in the lower right-hand corner of panel 2 looks like him.

Also, have we seen this Beltran before?

Yep, the difference between Popeye and his "dear old dad" was that Poop Deck had a short white beard.  This individual had the beard. 

Actually that's Poop Deck Pappy.

Looks like he's back, or someone in the Popeye family.  And I think Brainiac is nearby.

since page 2019, we've been on the "This Means War!" arc, but this chapter has a subtitle too: 

"Dark plans fall like thunderbolts."

This appears to be derived from a quote from Sun Tzu, translated from his book "The Art of War"

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
