Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 06, 2023

This’ll be a gas.

There will be a retaliation for the unprovoked attack on the ambassador of the balloon people. The rallying anthem will be the 80’s song “Pop Goes the World”

I hear the Balloon People’s economy is very inflationary.

I was already LOL at “Balloon People”.

This could balloon into something big!

Every time I read a reference to that song, I think of the parody….99 Dead Baboons.

Never expected recent news to become a new story arc.

I have a theory that there might be a big bang soon

His kid will come to avenge his pop!

Unless the missile has a proximity fuse, the balloon could just bump out of the way.

Earth is very welcoming. Especially the Americans. They have a lot to give.

Watch out for that guy in the floating lawn chair with a BB gun!

99 Luftballoons

“Welcome to Magrathea…”

Chinese Balloon People???

“I suppose you realize… that all the air has gone out of our Diplomatic Relations…”

(¬_¬)

Not Earth: the US. It would also behoove UFOs to avoid our air space right now.

Yeah mr balloon an explosive hug

“You’ll get a bang out of it.”

No one really respected the Balloon Ambassador – he was full of hot air.

Hopefully his name isn’t Mr. Burg. Mr. Hinden Burg.

Maybe just a hello from the Rocket People. :)

“99 dead balloons” lol

So THAT’S what happened?

This comic strip is extremely educational!!

Love the “Next” line.

They should get along well with Brewster. He’s an airhead.

1. I thought comics were done months in advance. 2. Great pun, 3. Now that song will be in my head, nice little song though.

Yeah, an F-22 and an AIM-9X.
