Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 10, 2020

So good! So good! So good!

I would’ve thought Shave and a Haircut would be a better lure for Brewster.

There’s a story about an American soldier during World War II who desperately wanted to prove himself by shooting an enemy Japanese soldier. His friend, seeing this, told him, not to worry. “I’ve got an idea just go up to the top of the trench and call out ‘Damn Hirohito!’” The soldier thought that was a good idea, so he did just that.

But, after a few minutes, a Japanese soldier came out and shouted “Damn Roosevelt!” Dejected, the American soldier went back to his friend and told him what happened. The friend shrugged and said, “Well, I understand. We can’t shoot a Republican.”

:-)

That wouldn’t have worked on me ‘cause I don’t know the song. But if he’d yelled “Dental plan!” I would have felt compelled to yell back, “Lisa needs braces!”

I have now revealed my greatest weakness….

The strip today is impressive. Great detail & colour.

If people actually could throw their voices he’d be okay.

I wonder what Brewster’s response would have been if they lured him out by singing “Tutti Frutti.” RIP, Little Richard.

These guys seem smarter than your average stormtrooper. They are either going to officer training, or they are going to defect.

A panel of Pam in the shower would’ve worked, too.

OK, I am old I was thinking the barber shop quartet, Sweet Adaline …

Shave and a haircut, two bits. Worked in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

:) Panel 3 or 4 needs a “wait for it” kind of hand signal :)

Joke stolen from “Who Killed Roger Rabbit” ( with a Sweet Caroline instead of A Shave and a Haircut)

“All around the Mulberry Bush,

the monkey chased the weasel.

The monkey stopped to pull up his sock…"

…

…

“Pop! goes the weasel.”

[BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!]

Must be a Red Sox fan!

Around here the irresistible call would be “Free Beer, Free Beer!”…

Please replace the word “Earthlings” with “Germans”!

Whatever happened to “Shave and a haircut…”?

Has everyone seen Neil Diamond singing “Sweet Caroline”, for the COVID shut-ins? He’s made a clever change to the lyrics.

I would’ve tried “Rock ‘n’ Roll, Part 2.” It just doesn’t work without “HEY!”

OMG this is great!

Happens to me all the time…

I love Neil! My daughter even had that song played at her wedding and everybody joined in on the chorus.

Brewster Rockit is part of Red Sox Nation? Sweet (Caroline)

HAHAHAHAHA, it’s true!
