Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 05, 2010

Things is going from bed to verse…..

Don’t force it. Use a bigger hammer.

Waist deep, neck deep We’ll be drowning before too long We’re neck deep in the Big Muddy And the bleeep fools keep yelling to push on

Never in a million years would I have thought to send in an angry gorilla. But that’s why I’m not in space.

It’s not wise to ape your betters…

They should send in a robot that says, “It’s the plumber! I’m here to fix the sink!”

A gorilla, OK, but only if he works for Tagon of Schlock Mercenary.

Whoah…..dude. @JoJo, it’s a good thing I didn’t do drugs because you’ve just triggered a huge flashback!

Even better, I just discovered they’ve released several episodes of The Electric Company on DVD!!!

Just send in an angry plumber!

Surf’s up!

\\//_

Paul doesn’t look so angry. I’d say he was enjoying himself

how high is the water??…three feet high and rising?

Ahh. I can go back to bed knowing between the brain of Brewster and the brawn of Dr Mel, all is well on the starship R.U. Sirious. Funny, it’s raining and the sun’s out.

“… and then, to stop the angry robot, I’ll send in Dick Tracy.” (Please pardon the DT inside joke.)

Well, thinking about it plumbilogically (new word I just made up - you’re welcome, spellchecker), they actually have two plumbing problems - “leaking” fawcets and clogged drains (apparently). The drains are probably clogged up with - wait for it - ripped out Winky spleens!

Send in an unemployed angry god.

Maybe someone should call for the Pied Piper of Hubble…

EXCELLENT “angry gorilla” art today!

Before getting his job on the R.U. Sirius, Dr. Mel must have been working for BP.

Maybe they should have given the Angry Gorilla some Gorilla Glue to use. It sticks to anything!

…and if that doesn’t work, send in the angry robot gorilla

And if that doesn’t work, try firing a machine gun in the general direction of the pipes. (Hey, it makes as much sense as the other plans.)

…and then his angry alien monster.

If they’re really in space, wouldn’t the water be weightless and floating everywhere?

Hire a government contractor to make it worse.

Or the politically correct solution…SEND IN JOSEPHINE!!!

(who?)

Since recently discovering this site, and Brewster, I have reread the entire archives of Mr. Rickard’s masterpieces twice. I enjoy the comments as much as the strip. I have been inspired, (or perhaps, infected) to start my own strip, and it will hit Sherpa in a couple of months. I hope you guys will be as kind, and helpful, to me as you are to Tim.
