Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 07, 2022

They told him it was Naugahyde.

Anybody want some jello?

They haven’t seen hide nor hair of him lately.

This week’s was a really sad arc. R.I.P., Bessie.

Bes(sie)t jacket in town…

I like this comic strip and find Rickard sensible in general, but as an animal rights supporting vegetarian I am somewhat uncomfortable with the last few comic strips. Not remotely to the extent of wanting to remove anybody’s right to speak freely of course. I am strongly opposed to cancel culture. It just isn’t for me.

Well this has been a pretty dark week.

Um, this is actually pretty sick. If a human wore a human-skin jacket, it wouldn’t be funny, but evidence of it’s possessor probably being a psychopath.

Buffalo Bill (Silence of the lambs) wants a word from you !

How now, brown cow?

He “fits like a glove.” (Actually like a well-tailored jacket)

[They could have had gloves made too.]

Siri: “Now playing Cannibal Corpse.”

How long is Rickard going to milk this joke?

Bessie? Him? Can cows be gay? Ask Gov DiStupid….

What a load of Bull.

Cows are useful for, Hamburgers, milk and leather jackets. Other than that I can’t think of anything.

In reality, Bessie was fine (leather). He was just ‘putting him on.’

Nonsense – Bessie always wore leather.

You know, I rather doubt that this story line would actually take place. I mean, a talking cow butchered and sent to McDonalds. Not likely. More likely he’d/she’d get a job with Chick fil a. Now, that would be funny. A real talking cow telling us to eat more chicken.

I thought “Bessie” was female?

Well, tan his hide.

In the immortal words of Gary Larson: You’re sick, Jessy! Sick sick sick!

Bessie’s a heifer

I know the lines have been blurred the past few years but…a male named “Bessie?”
