Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 13, 2023

I don’t think that’s anything new for Brewster.

In that case, probably less than five minutes.

If they hired a congress woman/man they could inflate it in 10 seconds or less!

Good thing it was easier to inflate in the vacuum of outer space than it would have been on Earth.

Actually, in space, it would take only a little air to inflate the elf.

Fortunately for Brewster, it would take a lot less air to blow up that balloon Elf in space than it would on Earth.

That explains why the air didn’t freeze; it’s hot air.

I thought he had used his authority as Captain to get Winky to do it.

Lightheaded in the sense that if you shine a light in one ear, you can see it through the other.

If they turn the elf around, will it look like a giant moon?

Brewster IS the air compressor! ;)

You wouldn’t need much air for an inflatable IN SPACE.

In space no one can hear you flatulate.

“So, to repeat…”

Brewster is not your normal blowhard.

(Not your normal anything, for that matter.)

The good thing is, he’s not so full of hot air as he was.

Since it would not fit through the airlock inflated, that would mean Brewster blew it up outside. It would not take more than a few breaths, but still … :)

So what else is new, Brewster blew it.

The inflatable elf just looks big: It’s just a gage transformation. The R.U. Sirius is in a deep gravitational well.

I think you might say Brewster is a real blowhard.

Wouldn’t he really only need a few breaths into the inflatable? then he could pop it out the airlock and let the pressure differential caused be being exposed to near-vacuum conditions do most of the work.

Of course, it IS Brewster we’re dealing with, here…

At least you know he put a lot of work into this one. He may be crazy, but he’s not lazy.
