Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for July 29, 2018

It’s a good way to quickly locate thin crust.

It’s all in how you word it. A sad truth.

If he comes down hard enough he could rebound off and “INTO SPACE!”

At least he didn’t make a pogo stick by putting a spring on Bucky.

Brewster has met the enemy and it is a Pogo stick.

Pogo shtick: “Don’t take life so serious. It ain’t nohow permanent.” Walt Kelly

I wonder who will be the first to try it…… that’s if anyone ever visits the moon again.

Hate to bring reality in, but the dust is probably too thick to allow a pogo stick to work.

If he’s on the moon, he should be bouncing a lot higher.

Probably donated by Elon Musk.

The interesting thing about a pogo stick on the moon is that the moon’s limited gravity would keep the astronaut from coming down hard enough to compress the spring as much as he would on Earth so there will be less launching force from the spring. Brewster’s low hops are somewhat realistic.

Cool, is that the new istick?

Actually, Cliff wasn’t too far off. Back in 1960s a study was made for a concept known as the Lunar Leaper. http://www.astronautix.com/l/lunarleaper.html

Would this make him a Bouncynaut?

(I’d look up the Greek word for bouncy, but I’m lazy)

The clarity of the last panel’s visual makes the dialogue unnecessary.

Jumping Brewster on a pogo stick!

Too bad his name isn’t Jack Flash. That’s be a real gas.
