Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 20, 2023

He obviously is just winging it.

I’m waiting for the mashed potato people and the pumpkin pie people and the side dish people….

Go chew the fat with Cliff.

Think of it less as cooking in butter and more as a sauna with a rubdown.

I don’t like the cut of Tom’s giblets.

Ambassador Turkey, I hear your concerns and I think we should discuss this more. Perhaps we could meet this Thursday for dinner.

What do the Turkey people eat for Thanksgiving on their planet?

I remember a 1950s science fiction story where humans land on a planet of intelligent alligators. The welcoming feast is the Queen’s own babies, pan fired.

Tom’s got us all wrong. We Earthlings think very highly of the people from his planet. In fact, we’re here to serve all of you.

He’s asking for it.

It’s gonna be a fun week on the space station.

Hah! But you eat the simians of your planet, so that makes us even!

I’ve seen this on Aqua Teen Hunger Force…

Simpsons too. Treehouse XIX The Grand Pumpkin [includes turkey]

I wonder if his rank is Major?

“Come in Ground Control!”

wait till the Yams from Uranus show up

This inhabitant is trying to pull a “Mike” on Brewster: “https://blogs.scientificamerican.COM/running-ponies/meet-miracle-mike-the-chicken-who-lived-for-18-months-without-his-head/”.

Are you sure you want to be visiting right now?

“Come, I show you how it’s done.”

Who let the Turk from planet Tofu in?

Tom the turkey should team up with Don the donut.

You should celebrate with the crew, Tom. Just pour this gravy, I mean, cologne on you so you can smell fresh

I fail to get the guilty, here …

One time I had a temperature of 351 degrees altogether. One time I was five hours old.

Well Tom, you are cordially invited to the celebration.

Admittedly stupid nitpicks:

(very stupid, since that is an alien) that appears to be an adolescent male, since the snood is too small and not the right colors.

JUST butter? No herbs, no apple cider vinegar?

He’s imagining the size of the “parson’s nose” on that one.

It’s easy to smooth things over Brewster, just invite him over for Thanksgiving dinner and make him the guest of honor.

Tom’s people/race/species/ethnicity should be banned from the station for their own good until January 8th. By then even the Eastern Orthodox are finished with Christmas. I’m not sure whether Jews eat turkey during Hannukah.

4 hours??

My recipe is to cook it at 210 degrees for 8 to 10 hours.

Instead of Basting it, you inject Heavy Whipping Cream into the meat before putting it into the oven. That gets the “Buttery” flavor deep into the Meat instead of just on the Skin.
