Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 20, 2023

I’ve always wondered why the ghost of Christmas future looks like Death while the ghost of Christmas past looks like a baby. It should be the other way around.

And people are lining up to use it as a toilet.

Ghosts in space stations? What next, Space Ghostbusters?

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is supposed to be the one who would show, not tell.

Would you look at that! They misspelled my name. I should have knowen better than to have Brewster handle the arangments!

“GRAVY! I MEANT GRAVY!”

Ok, this might sound a little macabre, but here goes anyway…

At my family gravesite, there are four plots, one for my father, one for each of his first and second wives, and one reserved for my brother (who is still alive). When my father passed, we had a ceremony at the gravesite, with military honors (dad had been in the army). They lowered his casket into the ground and covered it, and then someone realized they put him in the plot reserved for my brother by mistake.

My brother (I love him dearly, but he flies apart when things go south), was already overwrought when this happened of course, but now he got hugely upset and started freaking out. Naturally, they raised the coffin back up and placed it in its proper place, but as far as my brother was concerned, the damage was done. He stayed upset about it for a long time after.

Me, I’ve already made arrangements to be cremated when my time comes, so it was not a huge issue for me. The mistake was corrected, and life went on.

Had to shorten the script – he’s got other scrooges to visit.

Wait a minute, that’s just a big slab of carbonite!

Or change your Wicked ways and you’ll be so bored it will feel like you’re living forever.

A grave on a space station? The people on the lower deck aren’t too happy.

“Great! It’s empty.”

“Yes, but not for long.”

I am really surprised that Dr. Mel doesn’t wear his elbow length rubber gloves to bed.

They’ve put a ballroom floor across it so people can dance on it.

I would like to know what is on Dr. Mel’s tombstone (and don’t anybody say pepperoni).
