Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 03, 2024

You deserve to be fired like the rocket, Red.

The message is clearly written, black on black

“A good rule for rocket experimenters to follow is this: always assume that it will explode.”

Good idea, poor execution.

Love it! A+ for thinking outside of the box. We have learned from history that greatness and innovation never was achieved on the first attempt. Besides, any thing to do with rockets, I love. Brian, thanks for the Estes rocket episode.

Oh well! Tomorrow is a new day and a new effort!

Live and learn……maybe!!!!

In rocket exhaust? It had better be titanium. And engrave the message.

Powerful rocket, knocked his shoes and socks off??

Such language, Red!

How many Rubys are there in this town?

Now I’m in suspense over how bad a fire he started.

Where did his shoes go between the first and last panel???

Ruby in the skies with rockets.

She’s probably on a yacht somewhere. You know, the Ruby yacht of Omar Khayyam.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen any kids launching rockets, and even sightings of kites are depressingly rare. Oh, for the good ol’ days!

Uh, given that this comic takes place in the 60s, the phone number should start with 2 letters.

Maybe, she’ll still see the rocket and want to find where it came from …….. ;)

Good try, Red.

Must have been a BIG rocket fire. Last panel – Rover’s talented ears covered his eyes!
