Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 03, 2022

No chocolate milk?! No, no it cannot get any worse.

Novaltine.

The beans you had for lunch will have you leaving with flare.

It’ll eventually get meteorically worse.

Is this the end of Brewster Rockit? Will our hero survive space? Will he escapes the clutches of dismal doom? Will Winky ever run outta spleens? Don’t miss our next exciting episode, same time same channel!

“Brewster, this is Cliff. We just got a message – your Aunt Rose is on the way to the station. Is she the one who makes the liver-flavored cookies?”

Which is Brewster’s reaction? A: “I guess the day got worse.” B: “Hey burning up as a fall to earth doesn’t sound so bad anymore.”

Maybe the crew of the R.U. Sirius are taking bets on exactly when Brewster will expire.

He’s going to die, but what a view

Save Brewster Rockit??

Wait until tomorrow to see what’s worse!

Uhm, Brewster? YES! Unless the foreshadowing fails us, of COURSE your day is going to get worse!

Yes, watch out for that space debris rapidly approaching your backside.

What WOULD actually happen if you were out in space like that? Would you die of lack of oxygen first? Or would you die of cold? Or just the sheer fear of being out in such an immense space. Is that even a thing?

He gets picked up by Vogons?

Picasso face on second panel???

Its about to get worse.

Well, Brewster, don’t look now but Cliff is laying odds on when your oxygen will run out.

Of course the day can get worse. You could slip on a banana peel.

On the other hand, he can wish upon himself on the way down.

Um, did you remember to “go” before you left the ship?

Well, I bet a bad case of diarrhea would certainly add to your misery.

Oh wow I thought he meant the adult grape juice. Yeah it’s that bad

Proper perception of priorities permits patience to perish.

Then he realized his suit doesn’t have a catheter.

The Phoenix Asteroids will come and collect him.

Oh, it could get worse … as soon as he remembers the bean burrito he had before putting on the suit.

Is his spacesuit the only one aboard the R.U. Sirius with a propulsion pack? Does that station have a tractor beam or robot claw? Maybe Marie or Albert could take the controls of the claw and pretend Brewster is a prize in the machine.

Perhaps he can be rescued by Dirk Raider. That might be tough to live down.

so is this where Captain Marvel shows up?

for crying out loud, why doesn’t the R.U. Surris just get a shuttle and bring Brewster back?

Maybe if he comes across a piece of appropriately sized space debris, he can surf his way down. (Dark Star, anyone?)

Sounds like a personal problem.

Yes. Cliff is in charge of Rescuing you.
