Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 18, 2018

Just when an extra was starting to catch on …

But Pam is still right. it’s just that people with courage, action and determination often end up dead.

Tim warned us this was coming…

Au contraire; they love it! “How’s Ensign Kenny?” – “Delicious!”

Survival-plan: “It’s Winky-Season!” – “Kenny-Season!” – “Winky-Season!” – “Kenny-Season!” – “Winky-Season!” – “Kenny-Season!” – “Kenny-Season!” – “Winky-Season!” – ZAP!!! – “My spleen!!!”

As usual Pam has the right of it:

He should have ‘red’ the script.

Panels 2 & 3 sound like lines from Galaxy Quest!

“You killed Kenny! You Insecturds!”

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it here before but anyone interested in a great read should check out “Redshirts” by John Scalzi. Winner of the Hugo Award for best SF novel of 2013. An excellent take on this subject.

Pam: I can’t resist a man in a blood-soaked uniform.

Kenny: You wouldn’t happen to have a spare spleen you could loan me?

I figured Ensign Kenny would survive because he was given a name.

Is that the planet of the insectoids, or of the bulls?

I guess we’re gonna need another Ensign Kenny.

The red shirt is so blood doesn’t show during battle. The brown pants are so….

A redshirt and an Imperial Storm Trooper get into a firefight. The Storm Trooper misses and the redshirt dies anyway.
