Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 31, 2024

How did he ever make it into space??!!

There won’t be any in flight movies either.

So this run in his genes eh

“Because of the short duration of this flight (and the lack of passengers) we won’t be needing a flight attendant.”

Inventors of the first flightless vehicle upset they can’t have a celebratory cocktail while in flight.

True story. We got ‘stewardesses’ because back in the day no reasonable businessman wanted to do something as risky as fly in an airplane. But if a ‘mere girl’ could do it for a living, then no red blooded middle aged man could say he was chicken.

Living very near the place where their first flight took place, I can confidently state that the first flight(s) did not serve beverages….(awww…)

“For a slight upgrade you can get a meal.”

Be sure to stow your carry on bag in the overhead bin. Ooops – no overhead bin. Get off!

In spite of that, they still got off the ground.

I am beginning to suspect that not all of Brewster Rockit’s quirks are related to alien abduction and excessive probing.

I’m thinking he was more likely used as a “chock” to keep the takeoff cart from rolling before the flight.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

NO peanuts for You!

Brewster’s current ancestor works for the airlines now. He’s the one telling people that their flight was cancelled, delayed, never existed, or that the airline never have an actual plane to do it with.

I figured he’d be the first man to walk into a spinning propeller.

I suspect he has an ancestor who was in charge of looking for ice bergs on the Titanic.

“At this time, we’re going to have to ask you to invent the cell phone—and then put it into airplane mode.”
