A little history for those who weren’t around early in the strip history: Brewster was an intelligent, effective captain who was subjected to too many alien mind probes (hence his current state). Pam was sent to replace him but he sacrificed himself (to another brain scan) to save her. So she never told him that he was relieved.

Brewster always got by on his looks. That works less and less well as you age.

The tree was – and still is – brighter than Brewster.

I think they missed the six months gap between Up and Down with the tree.
