Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 16, 2021

The old Orville Redenbacher trick! The oldest trick in the book!

nice way to COBble together a defense.

The battle will be over in a “Jiffy”

This a-salt butter be good!

The crew of the R.U. Serious need a bit of butter and salt and a good movie to finish this adventure.

So I was right. It’s not unpoppable (unpopular?) common corn but apparently the Zea mays everta side of the family.

Will this series CORNtinue or will it just pop and fizzle out?

If it’s hot enough to pop corn, it’s hot enough to fry your brain.

Arguably, the brains of many of the crew of the R U Sirius are already fried.

Now they just need to poor sodas on the floor and the station will feel like they are in the theater.

One of the corn people is seeking medical attention in the Birdbrains comic for today

these corn people are so dumb, they’re getting creamed…

Mmmmm…. Popcorn! I’ll have mine with masala, please.

Frankly, I would never fear an edible alien.

I’m going to pop off and make my breakfast now.

Could be worse…could be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Good thing we refurnished the station theater and restocked our butter reserves.

What will the nude cob people do after the corn is gone?

“I’m melllting!”

“Naw, that’s just the hot butter…”

(ºᴗº)

may I recommend the original Godzilla vs King Kong, let’s face it. It’s so bad it’s that good!

They’re gonna need grit to survive this.

Is that you Pop?

Finally, Dr. Mel did something useful.

Are there Butter People? We should introduce them.

Ironic: The crew gets to eat popcorn only when the show’s over.

It may sound funny, but it’s cornocide. The deliberate extinction of an entire race.

Say, could you pass the salt.

Doesn’t work for the mom. Only the pop…

This weeks series of strips has been very corny.

I’m not cornvinced that this will work.

Yeah…that’s not working. Kind of like feeding the Tribbles!

That’s fine for the 1 in 100 of them who Pops.

He’s going to need to bring in the Butter People to help defeat the Rest of the Corn Soldiers.

Brewster may have to deploy the Corn Dogs.

Even Celsius that’s not enough to pop corn. Give ’em 180 C.

The corn people are going to be popping mad about that!

What that station needs is a reaper…

I’m not positive, but I don’t think all corn is popcorn …
