Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 01, 2013

In the year 2525…

Yup. Killin’ people just isn’t what it used to be…..

A little uneven.. your opponent only gets one life while you get as many as your taxpayers can afford.

When it comes to drone warfare, the future is now!

I salute this strip for daring to take on drones, unlike a certain well-known “political” strip which carefully skirts the issue completely.

Nuclear winter is coming.

They could save a coupla bucks on the budget by eliminating the wings on the space drone.

Astute Social Observer:

I don’t read Prickly City. I meant Doonesbury. It’s twisting itself in knots to avoid the issue.

Huh, I always thought drones were black and yellow and buzzzzzzed . . . . ☻

de"humanizing…?"Ah rezent tehm remarks…—

My Rumba is a drone. He is waiting for an upgrade though.

I quite like what C.S. Lewis has to say about leadership and warfare in The Horse and His Boy:“For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat, and when there’s hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land.”

This is in contrast to how criticises describes the Calormen (who in the book are a cultural mish-mash resembling India and Arabia, but a criticism which I think applies to America as much as any other country today) “These little barbarian countries that call themselves free (which is as much to say, idle, disordered, and unprofitable) are hateful to the gods and to all persons of discernment”.

Gary McSpook

Because Trudeau will do literally anything to avoid even tangentially criticising Obama, that’s why. How often have you seen him opposing the Nobel Peace Prizident’s illegally waged wars?

Ten years later we are awaiting AI-equipped drones with license to kill autonomously – and that’s just the ones for traffic enforcement!
