Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 24, 2022

So where does he want them delivered?

I ate a jelly bean yesterday and it pulled a crown off my molar. My punishment for eating candy.

What would he (is it Albert?) go as for Halloween, anyway? He only ever wears the space suit and helmet.

Z A GG N U TT Zagnut, doddlie do de do do

I never much liked that kid.

In another strip in the comments someone made the point that a crooked lawyer could get more than 10,000 mobsters with guns.

Seems easier (not to mention more fun) just to go out trick or treating. Or Trunk-or-Treating, as is the current trend.

It’s OK, folks, he is using Uncle Brewster’s web access.

Luckily, the company was aware of his Twix. Their Snickers made his fine of 100 Grand even more hurtful, so he spit in Reese’s Cup.

Candy Crush: The Hostage version.

Ooohhh – Zagnuts!

now that’s scary

Do they still even make Zagnuts?

I bet there are girls on Earth who wear Marie’s regular outfit on Halloween and pretend they are astronauts.

Zagnuts and Zeros, my two favs!

“Jawbreakers, or I break you!”

“Give me lots of Kisses, or I dump you!"

“Jelly Bellys, or you go belly up!”

“Double Bubble, or you got double trouble!”

What a sweet kid. Shaking down a candy company for treats. I guess that’s his version of tricking before treats.

I like a spooky story as much as anyone but this one crosses a line. :)

I don’t think Hershey would mind getting rid of all their Zagnuts. They probably have a lot of them left over from the 50s.

The old problem with ransom is that you had to meet with the payers to get any money. Electronic zagnuts aren’t a thing yet.

You live on a space station, how much candy were you expecting to get?

Fireball ’im!

I would’ve asked for Milky Way bars myself.

Forget that, send KitKats in a dozen different flavors.

Random unmarked PayDays.

BAD ALBERT! BAD BAD BAD!!!!

Of course what the kid is trying is a Felony; but since he is in a Black program, he might get away with it.

Diabolically clever
