Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 02, 2010

Poor Winky, lab rat again….

Poor Dr. Mel, no conscience again …

I knew she would!

Hey, she didn’t say “No!”

Isn’t Winky indestructible?

couldn’t he just use Wesley Crusher instead nobody would care if wesley mutated or grew an extra head or increased the size of his tentacles

I would. Maybe Winky is a parody of Wesley when young.

Only on the condition you can supply a spare spleen.

I’m not sure why Winky hasn’t gone off to make millions from his mutant spleen-repair ability.

The Galactic Federation will just wink at small indiscretions like this

Just hand him you spleen, Winky….. Hey, is Winky Pam’s kid? And who’s the father?

I think it was once said that Pam did have kids but Winky isn’t one of them…

Winky must be a spunky orphan who was blasted into space as an infant just before his Home-world Spleen V exploded.. His father Wink El told everyone the place would blow up if they kept pumping radioactive grape juice into the Planets core.. did did they listen? Nooooo So Winky survived and will one day grow up and grow a nice beard and tell Pharaoh “LET MY PEOPLE GO” and lead the Philistines to the promised land then become president of the NRA

or am I getting my stories mixed up again?????

Actually, I was just getting ready to answer Varnes, but gillbillvolume1 (a mouthful) beat me to it and did a better job. Yes, Pam does have two small kids - never seen - but Winky isn’t one of them. Winky is Dr. Mel’s lab assistant and no one really knows anything about him except he’s terminally chipper and seemingly indestructable. But I like the Spleen V angle … Tim Rickard, creator of Brewster Rockit

I believe in an earlier strip it explained it as Dr Mel creating clone Winky’s to keep him supplied.

Gillbillvolume1 is actually the name of my fish :o)

hes volume 1 because I have not quite perfected the cloning process and a few others such as Gillbillvolume 1.2 -2.3 managed to escape.

On a side note my neighborhood doesn’t have a problem with stray cats anymore..

we just don’t go out after dark…. ever

Dad4Mac, Radish, you both have excellent memories. Rockit-On! – Tim Rickard, creator: Brewster Rockit

She don’t know him very well, do she?

Clones are people, too, & deserve the same rights as anyone else.

Another spleen blowing in the wind.

Maybe Winky is/are a clone(s) that is not aware that he is a clone. It would explain how he is “indestructible” and how he can be in two places at the same time (after all, the galaxy is a big place to count all the inhabitants). It would also explain how he is so “dispensable” in times of crisis…

We’re gonna need a new Winky!

Cloning Lab, We’re going to need another Winky.
