Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 07, 2019

“…you can sit in my ashes.”

If the planet will speak it would say: “I think I am infested with a plague.”

If all we want is a final resting place, the planet will happily provide it.

Are you really going to go there?

The planet said: “You can separate my uranium isotopes and build nuclear reactors.”

The planet doesn’t give a s**t about us humans. It will be around billions of years long after we’re gone.

Big rock hits friendly planet, exterminates man, planet says thanks for this again and doing me for dinosaurs.

Man has said that several times. It gets warmer, it gets cooler… the planet is ever changing.I have to chuckle at you folks who think the world is only a few thousand years old and has always had a stable climate.

I think that punchline is one of the best ever! “Is it getting warm in here” indeed.

This on the heels of the vaccination thread. Looks like Mr. Rickard has found a new mission for his comic strip.

The planet said, “Don’t worry, its just part of the cycle that keeps me working well for you. Enjoy it now before I start my next ice age.”

seriously, do not run a good comic with politics. I have left other comics for that nonsense.

“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet. The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are! - George Carlin

Stephen Hawking believed that climate change would be humanity’s extinction event.

“We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid,” he told BBC News.

…

“Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it’s one we can prevent if we act now.”

Nicely sarcastic, hee! And since I never liked the original book, funny.

I wonder if Shel Silverstein would approve (if would be difficult to tell since he died almost 20 years ago)?

The man said, “I like to travel.”

The planet said, “How about a one way ticket to Mars?”

You give and you give till you give out.

Wait, folks – Brewster Rockit is a comic strip that is a running joke about humans LEAVING the planet!!! Why are some people so eager to “grind the axe” of global warming? Wake up! This is a COMIC strip! if you want opinions go see the editorial pages….

Then the Man said “Hey look how much more food I can grow now! Thank you Planet!”

I find the commentary here to be interesting. This is obviously a pro-science comic, and yet many people seem to want to cherry pick which science they like and which is somehow “political.” (read: “contrary to somebody’s opinion.”)

And the planet said, “Yes, for a while. Don’t worry, you had nothing to do with it”.

Notice is is always: the man said…

Oh my, PC humor….not funny.
