Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 05, 2024

He’s from USAA – usually socially awkward aliens.

That’s a fine way to alienate people.

Ah this must be theirs generation Z. Theirs final generation before extinction.

Anyone up for a probe, perhaps?

At least he didn’t say “Live long and perspire”.

Invasion?

Yes! You, too! Because, now Earth belongs to us! Bwahahahaha!

At least they try to be friendly.

Please treat them accordingly.

“Sometimes I’m just a knucklehead”.

I don’t know of many people who haven’t made the “You, too” gaffe sometime in their life!

Oh goody, aliens on the spectrum like me!

Somebody actually out “d’oh!”’d Brewster???

Or at least, “Welcome to our space station”.

“Take me to your larder! {Oh, fudge! Hmm, I am feeling kind of peckish…”}

“Yes you too. According to Galactic Records, we own this planet. So I am welcoming you to the planet you were born on. OUR PLANET.”

Been there, done that sort of thing.

My translator not worky too food.

I resemble this cartoon.

(Well, not really. I still have hair, and my eyes aren’t quite that big. But the behavior is all too familiar. Am I being annoyingly verbose? Sorry about that. Just nod and change the subject, or I may keep going like this all day…)

Sometimes I like to insert the error in fictional contexts. “Have fun storming the castle!” “You too!”

Style it out alien, tell him that’s your name – Ute Hugh

Now watch the alien try to order donuts after inquiring about how long the teenager behind the counter has worked there.

Give him a break, English isn’t his native tongue—in fact, he doesn’t have a tongue at all.

This is an old Brian Reagan joke

He meant the band

Brewster was smart enough to recognize that as a gaffe? Is it possible his brain is on the mend?

I’ve done that…

Oh good my people are here to take me back!
