Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 20, 2020

Beware of a foolish friend. He can cause you more harm than your enemy.

- The Panchatantra

I recognize a lot of the debris as coming from the Isle of Misfit Toys.

I already knew Christmas was ruined this year. Brewster made sure it would stay that way.

There goes the final nail in 2020’s coffin.

Problem solved (if you accept the result) & carried out at warp speed. Not Brewster’s best operation.

I used to think of something like this in the years past, when the radio used to announce on Christmas Eve Santa being picked up on the NORAD radar tracking him coming from the North Pole.

Pretty dark for a Brewster Rockit. And very funny.

When the North Pole lawyers sue, they will be sure to cite the Santa Clause!

Oh no!

Oh great, more space junk.

And I thought it was the coronavirus that was going to make this a miserable Christmas for everyone.

“Babylon Control, you wouldn’t believe me.” ;D

I see the “Charlie in the Box” and the spotted elephant from the Island of Misfit Toys… I still wonder why the doll was there – was it because she was depressed?

;-)

(Sung to the tune of, “Have yourself a merry little Christmas”):

Have yourself a 2020 Christmas

While in quarantine

By the way

Saint Nick’s been blown to smithereens.

Despite the errant target, this is one of those few times we see CAPT Brewster Rockit actually acting with command authority, and not the butt of everyone’s jokes… :-P

(Of course I assumed he is actually a captain not some other rank, and that the R.U. Sirius uses naval ranks)…

I’m sure they’ll figure it out when the rest of the wreckage enters Earth’s atmosphere.

ka-ho ho ho

Shoulda checked with NORAD first. They got the skinny on all the useless space junk…

Dang! Not again!

This turned dark very quickly.

“You better not cry . . . You better not pout . . . Santa Clause is . . . dead.”

Robot Santa Clause: you have been very naughty Brewster. As for the rest of you, I’m going to tear your skin like wrapping paper and deck the halls with your guts.

Does this mean that Brewster becomes Santa due to the Santa Clause?

They blew up a mythical creature?

Well that makes it official the government has canceled Christmas. Christmas is gone. Your kids must go on zoom and study. No fun toys. Also the kids will stay at home with you. Now you will have to learn to talk to them. Scary ain’t it.

It’s all Santa’s fault, he didn’t turn on his transponder.

Uh oh, Rudolph’s got an ouchie on his nose… ☺

Clearly this was the fake debris the Jolly Fatman had at the ready to confound his unwitting foes. Ho ho ho!

Hey look, free toys!

Good ol’ Brewster. Never acts rashly, unless it will have the worst possible outcome.

It’s ok Brewster. He was an undocumented immigrant.

Captain Rockit, the R.U. Sirius automated reporting system shows firing of the primary weapon at 00:05:17, 25 December 2020. Your mandatory report on this incident is overdue.

Brewster is the CAPTAIN?!?!

I laughed out loud at this one.

Charlie!? NOOOO!

The press release began, “Out of an abundance of caution …”

You have a lot of explaining to do to some very angry kids, Brewster

Blame it on a reindeer.

This is oddly reminiscent of the Babearlon 5 Teddy Bear incident.

Don’t worry guys, Jack Skellington can take direct missile hits, and the big guy doesn’t leave the troposphere level, much less get into the strato above the Pacific where target was. I see whoever it was was armed with a board without a nail in it. Must be the video pirates

Well at least “Charlie -in-the-box” , the little girl doll, and the ‘Spotted Elephant’ might get picked up by some aliens perhaps become gods

Theres free junk in space

Five percent of the Viet Nam casualties have been attributed to “friendly fire”. Operation Desert Storm had a much higher percentage. We are the most dangerous people on Earth
