Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 11, 2009

Things are real tough, Space Squid. Be a sport and return the rock, will ya?

The Space Squids’ new tactic for conquest: Offer the lowly humans a bailout. “Then we will own you! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!”

Beautiful quips, folks!

Wasn’t someone claiming recently that this strip has nothing to do with real life? :)

It’s that bad, huh?

Riddle me this: Was “Brewster Rockit” ever a serious comic strip?

“Brewster” is one of the most consistently hilarious comic strips around (and this from someone who reads about 150 strips a day).

I hope this means Tim Rickard is fabulously rich and has a staff of minions doing his bidding. I hope.

Need the rock back!? Brewster, do you or do you not still have two perfectly good shoes?

Gweedo, I’m not worried as that is not Winky.

“Just how bad IS your financial situation?” How civil of the alien to ask..! especially since it’s just been hit with a rock =)

As the space squid realizes that humanity might be more trouble to own than we’re worth… rather like an overweight dog with a flea problem and no housetraining.

mmm…calamari.

Soon, you can only breath and eat on even numbered days.

He’ll have to foreclose the R.U. Sirius and sell the rocks as liquid assets.

Take over us, take over our debts. That threat is the real reason aliens haven’t tried to conquer us.

(Our long line of presidents and congresses were far smarter than their actions seemed.)
