Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 15, 2021

There a sculpture in San Jose of the Aztec snake god Quetzalcoatl that looks exactly like the poop emoji.

:-)

This is Brewster and Cliff!

I think, Pam, your concerns are real but not a problem for at least two or three years, when the Valley Girl vocabulary merges with the emojis and then all is lost!

Not just talk, writing is suffering as well.

Those two were never good at talking anyway.

/vomit face/

Using imojis is causing us to forget how to what’sit.

They clearly understand each other, so I would say they are talking just fine.

Grrr I can’t put my “happy face” emoji

¯\(ツ)/¯

Well it’s true man, has lost the ability to communicate with words, and our hieroglyphics are unintelligible. Did we learn nothing from the ancient Egyptians??

I was talking to a friend and honestly finished a jokey comment with LOL. I was soooooooo ashamed.

“Darmok on the ocean. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.”

“More recently, the Tamarians’ language has been compared to the modern use of Internet memes and image macros.”

Maybe using too many emojis caused Rickard to forget basic grammar? “Is”, not “are” Tim!

I’m very disappointed that GoComics doesn’t let me just click an emoji

At least neither one of them responded with the small serving of chocolate soft-serve ice cream

Don’t knock it if it helps Brewster communicate better. He needs all the help he can get. Cliff on the other hand never has anything useful to say, so it doesn’t make any difference.

If you can find the McGuffey Readers and compare the first level reader to the “See Jane. See Jane run. Run, Jane, run!” that I used in first grade in 1966, you will see that children’s education was failing badly long before emojis.

Should be “.. using emojis IS causing…”

Good thing there aren’t a lot of eggplants.

Not emojis just social media and texting
