Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for July 04, 2010

By golly, it worked!

Would that work against the Taliban?

Like a big furry Gandhi.

In the next panel, Pam kicks in his exposed crotch, thus giving him an experience of the old ultraviolence.

They eat possum where I live. AND squirrels. I don’t hold with it.

Would this work on SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED? Up to now I’ve relied on my high school track training.

This is how we already deal with most of our problems: such as the economy, health care, climate change, etc.

she who must be obeyed?…huh? he must be a tv

SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED usually means the wife, submachine…

I’ve had opossums (Irish?) go through my backyard. I never thought to ask them where they were from.

I’ve seen opossums play dead then soon afterwards really be so. I have a feeling when Pam finishes with this one he will be so too.

Did you know that opossums aren’t “playing” possum? Their cerebral wiring is such that when faced with danger, they pass out. As most predators won’t eat animals they haven’t killed, the wiring was a survival trait and was preserved.

lincolnhyde is correct. Opossums (didelphimorphs) are an extremely ancient branch of Class Mammalia, dating back to before the extinction of the dinosaurs, probably at least 100 million years.

As such, their cortical system is underdeveloped (for a mammal) and of lesser capacity than other mammals.

However, Gopo and the Marsupions are evidently a branch of the family that somehow developed space flight …

I believe their backup plan is to stick their fingers in their ears and yell “LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEEEEEEAR YOUUUUUU…”
