Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 02, 2023

That explains some of my junk mail.

Someone’s got to say it: So there’s no intelligence out there either!

Take a look at the strife hate and ignorance on our planet I bet when they fly by Earth they lock their doors.

We want to buy your house; missed delivery; Medicare supplement plan; verification; your account is about to expire; Zillow special offer; Free video doorbell; confirmation receipt; debt relief. I guess they’ve given up on the hot singles who want to meet me.

The Vogons are responsible for the destruction of the Earth, in order to facilitate an intergalactic highway construction project for a hyperspace express route.

Earth had a chance to file a formal complaint, the forms were posted on lpha Centarwi for the last 50 years.

Evidence that some things are universal.

It’s one of the reasons I regularly check my junk folder. (Why does the term " my junk folder" seem like it could be something nasty?)

As they bump into aliens every week, the continuity of this strip is very poor…

If life can develop here then it is certainly possible for life to develop on other planets in the galaxy as well. But there is a leap of faith to “should be full of technologically advanced aliens.” Why? Of course it only takes one or two cultures to make contact with us, so the effort is not necessarily totally wasted. Except we should ask ourselves why they would bother wanted to contact us?

Spacecraft repair insurance including free start and tow up to the event horizon.

Oh No! Aliens on social media?

“I am a Rigelian prince….”

Your planet’s warranty is about to expire…

Just take a walk around the Station, Space Squid, Balloon People, Donut People, Snowman People, Karnor, Insectoids, Aliens, O-Dor from Uranus…

Feeling less manly?? Well, DON"T PANIC!

gee, there must be a reason everyone’s avoiding us…

Eh but these two has already meets a lotsa aliens.

“Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here.”

To Serve Spam

I always imagined First Contact: “We come in Peace bearing easy credit terms.”

Wait til he gets a message from the IRS (Intergalactic Revenue Service.) He’s a overdue on paying the taxes for his Kill Bots.

I doubt they’ll want to visit us now, if we don’t recognize it we shoot it down.

“Why are they single?”

“They eat their dates.”

“The fruit?”

“No, the saps.”

Did Tim use WiteOut™ on Panel 2? d;o)

They Have contacted us.

But, the Cat they contacted told them we weren’t interested unless they could provide lots of fresh Tuna.

Being Fish people, they were offended and put us on the Exclusion list until we become Civilized.

This is the way the galaxy ends, not with a bang but a whimper.

I was introduced to the Fermi Paradox by Dr. Isaac Arthur, a theoretical physicist who posts amazing videos on space and related topics online. Good stuff.

Considering the number of factors that permitted life to develop in our solar system, we can’t rule out that life may be a pretty rare thing in the universe, and intelligent life even rarer.
