Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 05, 2021

Imagine how much each one of these space flights cost and how many peoples lives could be changed for the better with that money.

All white males, too.

Golgafrinchin Ark B, need I say more?

Any telephone sanitizers?

Who’s the guy with the mustache? He looks normal.

@Bilan: That’s a moustache.

I tried doing a direct reply, bur for some gocomics reason, it wouldn’t open.

1) What’s this I hear about William Shatner being shot into space?

2) What’s this I hear about William Shatner being 90?

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

The idea is not that novel. In “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,” the two protagonist, Ford and Arthur, come upon a large spaceship from the planet Golgafrincham. Apparently, the Thinkers and the Doers of the planet Golgafrincham arranged for the, shall we say?, less productive members of their society to be the “advance party” to “save” their civilization and placed them on a spaceship rocketing to who-knows-where. Ford and Arthur realize the true purpose of the spaceship, but the rather dull occupants haven’t a clue.

Just permanently send away all of the oligarchs, who own said politicians and use them as puppets, and the world would be much better off.

Wouldn’t all bosses be on there, too? And corporate boards?

They could ask the mime what he thinks. But he won’t say a thing.

In May 2017, Bezos gave $1 million to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which provides pro bono legal services for American journalists. On June 15, 2017, he posted a message on Twitter asking for ideas for philanthropy: “I’m thinking about a philanthropy strategy that is the opposite of how I mostly spend my time—working on the long term”. At the time of the post, Bezos’s lifetime spending on charitable causes was estimated to be $100 million. A year later in June, he tweeted that he would announce two philanthropic foci by the end of summer 2018. Bezos announced in September 2018 that he would commit approximately $2 billion to a fund to deal with American homelessness and establish a network of non-profit preschools for low income communities. As part of this announcement, he committed to establishing the “Day 1 Families Fund” to finance “night shelters and day care centers for homeless families” and the “Day 1 Academies Fund” for early childhood education.

In January 2018, Bezos made a $33 million donation to TheDream.US, a college scholarship fund for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as minors. In June 2018, Bezos donated to Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a private philanthropic fund founded by Bill Gates aimed at promoting emissions-free energy. In September 2018, Bezos donated $10 million to With Honor, a nonpartisan organization that works to increase the number of veterans in political office.

In February 2020, Bezos pledged $10 billion to combat climate change through the Bezos Earth Fund. Later that year, in November, Bezos announced $791M of donations to established, well-known groups, with $100M each going to Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Nature Conservancy, World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund, and the remainder going to 11 other groups. In April 2020, early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Bezos donated $100 million to food banks through Feeding America.

Shatner’s due to go up soon.

Everyone hates lawyers…until you need one and everyone hates politicians…except the ones they vote for.

But everybody hates telemarketers.

It`s a plot point from Hitchhikers guide to galaxy. Next stop: inhabite Earth.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

MIIIIIIIIMES IIIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAACE!

I guess they had no room for the phone sanitizers on the rocket.

And then all of the air is evacuated when the airlocks open, ejecting the passengers into space. After that, she ship returns to Earth and safely lands, ready for another load.

this is, by the way, one of the sub plots of hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy: an advanced society sends all of its phone sanitizers and telemarketers and other useless members of society to a lonely planet/computer called “Earth.”

Once my boss wore a red and black striped polo shirt.All day he wanted to know what was so funny.

Mimes wouldn’t get so much hostility if they would only speak up for themselves.

Hey hey the mime stays with us

Careful! You’re sounding like a Libtard. Tucker Carlson will ridicule you- unless he’s away getting his fourth booster shot.

Don’t forget people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face.

Didn’t work in hitchhikers guide to the galaxy…

It’s a cartoon and funny. Unfortunately, too many commenters are also closet genocide fans.

Ah, it’s the B Ark!

Forty-two.

Who is Mustache Guy in Shades? Could it be our artist, Mr. Rickard?

Even if I won the Lottery, I’m waiting on the Jupiter 2 and a complimentary B-9 Robot before I go.

Since the flight is being paid for by Crowdfunding, it’s quite likely your ploy assumption is correct.

Either the colorist missed a spot, or the Mime has a blank name tag.

SF writer Cyril M. Kornbluth, “The Marching Morons,” short story originally published in 1951 did it first. Douglas Adams built a spot-on homage/expansion on that story.

If only it would happen

This is done as a joke here, now, but it isn’t far removed from real life or history. Britain shipped many of its undesirables to America, and Australia.

Some Australian comic said:

We were lucky, we got the criminals from England, the Americans got the religious nuts!

It’s time to send Mark Zuckerberg.

If you have to shoot a mime, use a silencer.

Usually enjoy this comic, but sad to see he is ripping off one of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books.
