Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 28, 2024

Ah, hold back on the oldest space-name joke of all?

Proof that Brewster is not a complete idiot!

Good restraint. Don’t want to call his planet Urectum

They call the ninth planet from the sun IX

You mean they have no noses in, well, um …

If the 18th century astronomers had only named the new planet Caelus (pronounced “SEE-lus”), the Roman’s equivalent to the Greek god Uranus. It would have solved a few problems.

If you pronounce it “your-uh-nuss” with the accent on the “your”, instead of “your-ay-nuss” with the accent on the “ay”, you might avoid making an ay-nuss out of yourself

Who’s on First?

He[s getting deeper down that black hole all the time

If we found life on (seventh planet name), we’d consult an infectiologist.

Poor Uranus has been a butt of jokes for too long.

Finally, a joke about the seventh planet from the sun that’s well-crafted.

Yes I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley

Now that, ladies and gentlemen is what we call a true LOL comic. Way to go, Tim!

Will they find Klingons there?

Yer-anne-us

Who’s on first?

Funny one….

Oh, my planet is called “Terra”. (Yeah, it means the same thing, but it’s fancier in Latin.)

Tell him you call it 7-of-9.

funny

This reminds me of a science fiction story I read many years ago.

An astronaut had escaped from a race of incredibly violent and powerful aliens who had been torturing her because they thought she mocked them.

They were on their way to invade Earth, and they were also incredibly proud of their white, porcelain-like shells…

“Go ask O-Dor, he’ll tell you…”

Butt jokes…

Reminds me of the old Star Trek joke:

Q: Why is the Starship Enterprise like toilet paper?

A: Because it flies around Uranus and wipes away the Klingons.

Disney World.

I can imagine how long they’ve waited to spring this one on us, not that we haven’t been saying r u sirius about this comic.

Please search for Nanowar of steel and this planet …. a great song :)

Why not just pronounce it oo-RAH-nos, as the ancient Greeks pronounced the name of the deity?

(Answer: because it’s not as funny—the Roger Rabbit principle.)

Vlarry funny.

The last one to comment on this will be bringing up the rear.

Wonder if Rickard has been channeling Abbott & Costello. It’s also astonishing that Brewster has the brains to understand why he shouldn’t answer that question. I’m used to him being far more clueless.

This should end!!! All of the old cracks have reared their ugly heads and there seems to be no bottom to them.

Yer… a… NEVER MIND

Even Brewster has his moments of Clarity.

I pronounce it “oorauhnus” as the other 2 pronunciations sound vulgar.

Just don’t ask him Who’s on first!
