Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 25, 2023

She should get a bang out of the play set.

Every little girl’s dream: her own nuclear fission experiment.

Is Brewster wearing a skirt?

Cute.

Poor Marie! There’s no Curie for her condition!

That was not a show for children.

Barbenheimer!

What could possibly go wrong?

Be the first kid on your space station to rule the solar system!

Back before we were all Nervous Nannies a kid could learn about atomic energy the same way Marie Curie did!

Is there a scene similar to this in the movie with Oppenheimer with a test tube and flask?

She’s going to do what??

It’s called a kilt

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Uranium gets its allowance raised

uranium great holiday gift

I’m sure this will end well…

Look at her face, all aglow with excitement.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas – hope it’s a blast!

YASSSSS!!! (There’s a Scientist Barbie too, but a real chemistry set is waaaaayyyyy better!)

My Gilbert Chemistry set didn’t include eye protection…

If she’s messing around with radioactive isotopes … Well, she’s going to need much bigger goggles ! :)

She’s aglow with excitement.

STEM girl!

Check out the radioactive Boy Scout on Wikipedia.

How cute: she is become death, the destroyer of worlds.

I never knew or payed attention to the names of Pam’s kids until now. Is Marie named after Marie Curie? Is Albert named after Albert Einstein?

now all she needs is a boom box…

Find a neutron source and some heavy water, build a breeder reactor, and make plutonium. There isn’t enough u235 there to make a watch glow, so make some new fuel.

Now am I become Barbie, destroyer of worlds.

Gilbert should bring back it’s U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory. Just add an enrichment centrifuge. https://en.wikipedia.Org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_Laboratory
