Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 04, 2010

Pam can whip all three of ya with one hand tied behind her back….

Ah. Now the Usual Absurdity’s setting in. About time.

I don’t know about whipping them, especially Brewster, but who needs brute strength when you can gun ‘em all down as soon as look at them?

And Pam, if you want’ that plumber you’d better sneak off and call one yourself. Preferably one with an armed escort and men in white coats.

Turning the Three Stooges - Next Generation loose with sledge hammers in a space station has got to be one of Brewster’s worst ideas yet. And considering Brewster’s intellect, that’s in the same league with the guy who entertained the Hindenburg’s passengers with a fireworks show.

A plumbing call all the way up to the R. U. Sirius? Sheesh. Brewsky’s way is gonna be much cheaper no matter how much collateral damage he causes.

More power! Ar-ar-ar-ar-ar …

Cliff! Not even a tube? Sigh. Guess, that’s why I’m just a reader. Everybody into the pool!

I was a smart college prep student, my girlfriend a lowly techie.”Shouldn’t you use flux on that?” Shut up, this is a man’s work.” “MOM! Quick! Call a plumber!” My girl didn’t make a crack.

Sheik Yerbouti: “THREE STOOGES - NEXT GENERATION”.. Outstanding!

Pam, a typical woman, doesn’t understand that pipes are contained in wall that has two sides…makes perfect sense to go to the other side [which is in another room] to get to the pipes. And, of course, a man uses the biggest tool he can lay his hands on to tear open the wall [note the size of the sledge]! The massive collateral damage will allow the boys plenty of time to drink beer and congratulate themselves while the plumber that Pam calls fixes the problems.

Is Cliff the chief engineer?

If so, he would the one to call for this kind of thing.

A lose, lose situation.

I thought every man knows that a chain saw is the proper tool to cut into the wall.

Shouldn’t they be using lasers and photon rockets to get to the plumbing instead of a sledgehammer? This is so low tech on a spaceship with metal or plastic walls, not sheetrock.

They use lasers and photon rockets for outward defense and metal in the outer hull, sensibly enough.

Inside… they use hand tools and sheetrock, of course. :)

I love the expression on Dr. Mel’s face in the second panel.

I thought they would have had hand held lasers (like in Star Trek) to cut thru the walls and maybe start a fire and set off the sprinklers.

I hate sexist comics. This is usually a good strip, but they blew it this time.

andymeijers, I take it you mean “sexist” as in Foxtrot or Blondie, where all adult males are presented as blithering idiots!

And getting to the pipes in the wall would fix a leaking faucet… how?

Brewster’s gone from “Tim Allen” to “Al Bundy”! Where will he go from here?
