Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for September 25, 2009

I’ m riveted.

They’re rapt with attention…

Talk about attention to detail - skipping just one number could create an unintended plot twist. Or worse.

Shhhh … he’s just getting to the good part …

That story always crashed my system.

What’s the world coming to when a cartoonist can’t even spell “11001011010010101” correctly! And don’t ask me to translate what he actually wrote; it’s just rude.

Good thing there were no R2s there. He be doing “Bleeep, tweet, screweet…” Hope I spelled those right.

well, either you spelled “bleeep” right, or else you misplaced a “01001” and the nannybot got ya.

I feel bad for the little robo-tot that only understands punch cards.

There are 10 types of people in the world… those that understand binary, and those that don’t.

Actually, what he said was: ╩╩a”b╖-

Oh, how 01100110101!!

This is all great stuff, but what if theres some foreign robotot that only speaks hexadecimal???

I have a love/hate relationship with binary.

And now for you internet-addicted kids…

t3h 4w350m357 s70r33 EVAR!

The story’s well-told, but it only has two characters.

algurka: that’s not a word.

Did you mean to say

‘Oh, how 01100011011101010111010001100101’ ?

I can just see one of the ruder ‘tots telling Winky to 01100110 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01101111 01100110 01100110.

What Winky said was bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep and bleep. But how did he survive that sock puppet looking alien hatchling from yesterday’s strip? Did it only eat his spleen which he then had replaced?

This binary does not conform to ASCII, ASCIIZ, or ASCII-extended.

I don’t get it. I used the translator, and it said it can’t be translated. What’s going on?

This is the best banter I’ve seen on a Brewster strip in a long time. Who knew ones and zeros could be so funny?

With the binary system, you don’t want to mix up a 0 and 1. It’s also bad to get them out of order, 2……

Every group of 8 binary digits should represent a text character. The groups of 8 binary digits in the cartoon don’t appear to be valid combinations. Apparently that’s the reason for the big smiles and confused looks on their faces.

00100010 01001110 01101111 01110111 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110100 01100001 01101100 01101011 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01101100 01100001 01101110 01100111 01110101 01100001 01100111 01100101 00101110 00100010
