Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 31, 2021

Cliff is very good with the remote.

Disregard my comment from yesterday.

Pam, I don’t see the problem here. Why did you volunteer for this project anyway?

A simulated simulation.

Cliff doesn’t quite seem to be the right person for this.

I think this is a classic win-win.

Zoom me up, Scotty!

For that guy, working remotely means working with the tv remote.

Going to need that free delivery service that’s so common these days for all their meals for a while.

I’m with Cliff on this one.

That’s a first. And probably a last.

Are you really upset by his absence, Pam?

Cliff always “Phones It In”, why should this be any different.

Well, technically you can, but the lag time would be significant.

Oh, you’ll get Zoomed, all right…

“Pow, Zoom, to the Mars, Cliff!”

Is it just me or does it frequently look like Brewster is asleep.

I think “I decided to work” would be a more significant comment coming from Cliff.

They live on a space station, but return to Earth to simulate being a place off of the Earth? Do I have that right?

He probably figured out they won’t allow pizza delivery. That’s too much of a sacrifice.

At first I thought he missed the point of the simulation experiment, then I realized that he’s smarter than he looks. As for using Zoom, “It generally takes about 5 to 20 minutes for a radio signal to travel the distance between Mars and Earth, depending on planet positions” (from the NASA website). He’s going to have an easy time getting out of meetings, projects, assignments . . .

Cliff may not be very Bright, but even he knows better than to get caught up in one of Dr Mel’s experiments.

Pam is just too Dedicated to doing her Duty.
