Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 17, 2021

I am surpised about this clever question from Brewster.

These two should be best pals, considering their shared talents, or lack thereof.

So we might as well take a lunch break instead.

Brewster’s question assumes he’s still around in the future. Maybe he isn’t – he was killed today… Although that raises the question why future Dirk Raider sent an assassin back to kill a guy who wasn’t around then.

And stupidity triumphs again.

Never try to explain yourself when time-traveling…

A paradox for a pair o’ dopes.

He met his match!

This reminds me of the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck conversation ending with Daffy saying, “Kill me, now, kill me, now.” And then Bugs blows Daffy’s head off. After Daffy puts himself back together, he looks at Bugs with total disdain and says, “You’re despicable.”

Time travel is one giant paradox.

And remember, kids! ZOOB spelled backwards is nearly BOOZE!

What is Dirk’s future timeline after Brewster is destroyed, Telephone sanitizer management?

From the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Episode “Trials and Tribble-lations”:

DULMUR: Captain, why did you take the Defiant back in time?

SISKO: It was an accident.

LUCSLY: So you’re not contending it was a predestination paradox?

DULMUR: A time loop. That you were meant to go back into the past?

SISKO: Erm, no.

DULMUR: Good.

LUCSLY: We hate those.

Soliloquies. The bane of all bad guys.

Foolish Raider. He shoulda sent Percival Dunwoody for the job instead. Brewster wouldn’t have a chance against him.

The blaster jammed. That also happens a lot

Looks like they sent this guy into the past just to get rid of him. :)

“It’s all too timey-wimey, let’s have cake!”

If you have a reason to change the past, then you are trapped in paradox – but if you randomly change the past, you may escape the loop.

According to the “many worlds” hypothesis, in one universe Brewster was killed, in another it was Dirk Raider who was killed, and there is probably even one where they danced the merengue and got married.

“I wonder if your gun is stopped up. Check it.”

“No, it looks clear to me. Let me just check it. ZAAAAAP

“No, it wasn’t blocked, poor fellow.”

This is Brewster’s most asked question. Also, did his parents have an ambition that he grow up to make beer ?

The trooper should stay in the past and become his own father.

A case of Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey

So what defensive weapons were you issued?Nothing.What! No defensive weapons against a Terminator?Not an electronic sausage.OW! THAT’S HEARTLESS! MAN, THAT JUST TICKS ME OFF. THOSE JERKS! (hop hop kick) I THINK I’LL JUST BLAST THIS TEMPORAL BRIDGE GENERATOR! oop, uh… aZHOOoo..

Incompetence? Time for a Promotion to Management. lol

Brewster, the answer to your question is that you had this very conversation with your assassin and convinced him that killing you was a useless exercise, so he didn’t bother trying.
