The latest Star Trek character on Canadian postage is…Dr. McCoy?

A picture of Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, the fictional doctor who worked on Star Trek's U.S.S. Enterprise, appears on a newly issued Canadian stamp.

“Canada Post has been rolling out a series of Star Trek-themed stamps, one at a time, in honour of the iconic TV show’s 50th anniversary. […] The latest of these stamps was publicly unveiled in London, Ont., on Tuesday. It features an image of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, as portrayed by the late actor DeForest Kelley.”

Reason #1701 why DeForest Kelley was a beautiful human being: whenever he received a letter from a fan who’d decided to become a doctor after watching Bones on Star Trek, he would send back a photo signed “to the Real McCoy, from the Reel McCoy."

#1702 is that he had a turtle named Myrtle.

Friendly reminder that Karl Urban did such a good job with Bones’ mannerisms as they were portrayed by DeForest Kelley that it made Leonard Nimoy cry.
