Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 06, 2020

S’matter, Pam, don’t like lavender?

That should chill the stormtroopers sufficiently for them to stop fighting and just relax. Now, someone please pass the loofa.

“Um…nice!” I LOLed!

No one likes a stinky StormTrooper

Was the scent lavender blue, dilly dilly, or lavender green?

Well that bombed.

Maybe they will now become Stormie Trooperettes!

Lavender lads?

If I had time I’d work on “He Was Only a Lavender Stormtrooper.” The Lavender Cowboy was 1923 poem about cowpoke who didn’t fit stereotypes of rugged masculinity. Turned into a song in 1930. Later versions change it from the hero wanting to conform to the proper stereotype to being flaming gay.

I’m kind of concerned that it still exploded.

So as a bomb, it bombed?

Maybe they’re allergic to lavender.

“POOF”? >Tsk tsk<

Brewster is “Hoist with his own petard.”

He who smelt it dealt it.

Any of those “bombs” come in “summer breeze” or “clean linen” scent?

Most of the bath scents are oil based. Maybe the stormtroopers will have problems walking on a slick floor.

“I’ve got ‘Poo Pourri’ here, and I’m not afraid to use it!” ☺

So does that mean that somewhere, someone is about to take a bath with a grenade?

It was time, they were getting pretty offensive.

“Wrong! It was a glitter bath bomb! Now you guys look like you just came from a nightclub!”

Now take pictures of stormtroopers in a bubble-bath. That’ll embarrass the folks back home.

Crap – now he is going to feel a hesitation about hurting someone who smells like lavender!

He needs a psychological warfare weapon that talks to the enemy. In his 1959 novel Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein refers to talking bombs that speak an alien language (to creatures called “skinny’s”). … I’m a thirty second bomb! Twenty-nine! Twenty-eight! Flash-bangs with their high pitch squeal would work too.

It’s a weapon of peace. Either it will mellow them or they’ll be so embarrassed that they’ll retreat.

Next time try the Potpourri.

Um, nice!

That look on Pam’s face- Irritable Belle is back full force in the last panel! Missed her!
