Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 07, 2023

Then there’s the stork on his arrival.

I like that kid. He’s so calm & collected!!!!

In other words, the Sand Man is the anesthesiologist.

I lot of fairy tales are not suitable for kids. To say nothing of Rock-a-Bye Baby…

Wait until the Icelandic yule cat, Jólakötturinn, pays him a visit.

Sand in eyes? That be painful.

Just wait ‘til the Reaper decides the the tooth fairy’s time has come!

Is there even room for the Monster Under the Bed?

If the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future show up, there’ll be enough for a basketball team.

He’s off to never-never land

Good thing space kids wear helmets.

Insomnia explained.

Umm how did he go from collecting teeth to harvesting body parts?

Ah Sandman, the tooth fairy could use some sand.

Just wait until you meet Gretel if you think THIS is weird.

Kid keep your faceplate down and you’ll save some teeth and eye irritation.

A lot of it seems to be based on the “Scared Sleepy” principle. :)

(I’m enjoying this storyline more than the usual Brewster non sequiturs .)

Will that work through the helmet?

Early to bed, early to rise. Rest your head child, where it lies. Now go to sleep, kid, or I’ll throw sand in your eyes.

“The first story about the Sandman and his doings was published in 1818 by German writer E.T.A Hoffman. “Der Sandmann” begins with an exasperated nurse telling a story about a mythical creature who throws sand in the eyes of little children who won’t go to sleep, causing them to fall out of their sockets. The Sandman then collects the eyeballs in a sack and carries them to his home on the dark side of the moon, where he feeds them to his children." from How Things Work

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but tooth fairies appeared in the second H*llboy movie a swarm of tiny bone-eating semi-insects. They hit an agent like piranha and left nothing.
