Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for July 20, 2009

Let’s see, now…. Thrust/weight ratio, plus angle of attack, plus vectoring caused by wildly waving arms about… Hmm. Steve Dallas should be sucked into the sun in less than a week if our calculations are correct. (Of course, I’m no rocket scientist….)

Just how does he expect to drink the thing anyway?

Wouldn’t the pressure in the can have already opened it? Especially from all the bouncing around? I mean, those things aren’t exactly made to withstand extreme pressures, when you consider that they’ll pop in a closed-up car on a hot summer day.

Steve Dallas will be the first human rentry vehicle and will light up the sky for … oh … two or three seconds anyway.

Wait, NASA has been blowing all this money on rocket engines, when the could have done it with a couple of cases of Bud Light!

Except for Steve’s ex-girlfriends.

This strip was sponsored in part by Miller Genuine Draft.

I bet if one were to draw up a future family tree for Sreve you would find that he would become Brewster Rockit’s grand father. That kind of natural talent can only be genetic!!!

steve-put your finger over the opening-shake hard -turn around and the pressure will blow you right back to the ship.

I think Steve’s eligible for a Darwin award, in which case, there ain’t no more family tree to draw!

Apparently, Steve’s never grasped the concept of a shooter.

From what I understand, Steve’s always premature.

Houston, we have a problem – our last beer is gone!

In space no one can hear you PHOOSH! :)

Well, I guess someone needs to stick a can of beer or soda into a vacuum chamber to see what will happen. The absolute pressure change inside will be 14.7 psi.
