Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 19, 2021

I guess the appropriate comment would be LOL

That’s my entire universe.

Pam can finally fit in a size 2.

This is the part where the ad for the magnifying glasses pops up.

Cartoonists have been complaining about this in the newspapers for decades. (I know, I know. “What’s a newspaper?”)

I took it to mean the comic frames were shrinking, so expected them to be the same size in the last panel, just crammed in a lot closer together.

It’s a small world after all!

If everything shrinks the same amount (percentage/volume-wise), things (may seem to) remain the same (relatively speaking).

And if you heat up the water a frog is in very slowly …

Now if they could apply the same technology to ’rhoids… :D

Yet my bills continue to expand…

I guess that’s what is meant by reframing the issue…?

The expanding universe however counteracts shrinkflation. Not in a way that helps of course.

Go stand on a block of very dense metal.

Brewster might like to squished together with Pam.

I’m shrinking! I’m shrinking!

The BIG BANG started things…will the big shrink be the end.

How can you properly probe humans, if your tools and probes get too small…?

How are Dirk Raider and his stormtroopers handling the shrink?

It called a varying “metric”, denoted $g_{mn}$, which scales vectors and tensors. Everything in a gravitational field is smaller, which means things have to travel further, deflecting light waves into the gravitational field, since the part of a wave deeper in the field appears to slow down. Since everything travels as a quantum wave, the gravitational field deflects everything into it. Since everything in your closet has mass, the more that is in it, the more volume is in there. You could put a whole universe into your closet!

Tomorrow’s strip will in Black and White.

Happy 100th to Eugene Wesley Roddenberry.

Try the other side of the mushroom.

Have you seen a newspaper recently? My hometown rag is about 2/3 the size it used to be (down to almost the size of the weekly advertiser, which is now defunct). It’s not just the dimensions of the paper itself, it’s also the number of pages: the front section now has maybe 4-5 pages on a good day. I’d love to be a paperboy these days: there’s hardly anything to carry!

laughing Hilarious!

Oh no, the computer simulation has shrunken!
