Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 16, 2024

badum tish!

Why you no like to has a pun time eh Pammy?

That’s awfully corny for a man his sage.

Brewster is an oregano genus, hens the herbal puns.

Styx and (Rolling) Stones may thrill my bones, but those words really hurt me.

That’s a sage decision Pam!

Did you notice that the humor here about the hens is …

… (only) somewhat corny? It’s cornish.

A side of Brewster we’ve not seen before.

Two hens and no veggies? Still, I’d much rather have that than whatever weird stuff Pam is eating. There’s something blue on her plate.

GROANS!

Brewster sent 10 separate entries to a worst pun contest. He thought he had a chance to win, but no pun in ten did.

Reminds me of that song from the planet of the Zombies “It’s that thyme, of the season, for punning…”

Is it any wonder he’s not the president?

Two more and he might have had four fried chickens and a coke.

Is Pam eating for two? That’s a pretty big plate and it’s full. Zero gravity does not equal zero mass.

Did Dan Thompson ghost write this strip?

“Thyme keeps flowing like a river… to the sea” which is probably why Brewster added too much.

Take yer stinking’ upvote.

“I’ve got too much thyme on my hens! & it’s clucking away from me, clucking away from me!”

Guest cartoonist – either Thaves or Pastis

All hens on deck, Brew made a pun! Its about thyme! Very sage of him!

What do you think this is? Pearls Before Swine?

Argh, he’s been reading Pearls Before Swine.

Pam can always sit by me.

Aw, come on Pam. That was a good one! I wasn’t expecting it and have now giggled for a solid 30 seconds. Great way to start the morning on a cold, gray day.

Ok ! That’s it! Everyone out of the punool!

Stephen Pastis must have taken over todays strip.

I cry foul. I also cried laughing!

The Punitentary for you!

Dad joke plus a Styxx reference. My view of Brewster has significantly improved.

This song (Styx) was literally playing on Pandora as I was reading it…LOL

In one of my poorer phases, I made a big stew. The lid fell off the tarragon jar as I was “sprinkling”. I had to eat Too-Much-Tarragon Stew the rest of the week because I couldn’t afford to make anything else. To this day, I do not have tarragon in my spice rack. :)

IM GRIMACE

I LOVE MS MARGARET

Can you really have too much thyme?

you know there is no such thin as cornish game hens…they’re named that because no one would eat baby chickens…which is what they are

Someone has been hanging out with Stephan Pastis…

Hey! Leave the dad-jokes to the dads, buddy.

That was a cornish joke.

Sing along: “Poultry seasoning, rosemary, and thyme.” (Actual recipe for Cornish game hens.)

Great pun!

Aaaaaaaaaa!

Ah, one of the big hits for Styx, along with The Best of Thymes and Cumin Sail Away!

Genius! Who knew Brewster had it in him?

They are not Cornish, nor always hens. They are chickens of either gender that are between 90 and 180 days old.

as much as I love puns, “Run, Pam, Run!”
