Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 16, 2011

Sigh, I feel another spleen destruction coming on…

Let’s stuff Dr. Mel in the hole, what say?

Winky, you know what happens when something pulls your finger!

Instead, Winky’s going to decompress slowly through the hole.

Dutch director Paul Verhoeven did this scene in Starship Troopers but it was deleted. DPH, of course, played the “Winky” role….

I have a vile and obscene comment but I respect you all too much to say it. Come closer so I can whisper it.

Let me guess, Dr Mel: you’re not allowed to use the word “dike” in your comic strip.

So….tomorrow, Winky’s spleen will be explosively decompressed through his finger?

I’m sure somebody can remind us which science fiction story had a character’s gluteus maximus used for such a purpose?

@ Phatts – You’re thinking of “Gentlemen, be Seated” by Robert A. Heinlein. It was part of his Future History series. First published in Argosy Magazine, May 1948. Reprinted in the anthologies “The Green Hills of Earth” (1951), and “The Past through Tomorrow” (1967).
