Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 18, 2024

Just slink(y) away.

I thought he’d recoil at the thought.

If it were only a bit silly, it wouldn’t have made it into the strip.

They’re what put the spring in their step. Wouldn’t want them to be dirty and squeak all the time.

You don’t want to get caught with dirty springs.

After he’s done cleaning them, Brewster can shape up those springs with a coiling iron.

Disciplinary action is coming against the crew as he will be handing out suspensions.

I dunno…that was a bit of a stretch…

He’s good at what he is able to do.

Brewster starts an interstellar incident as he has just assaulted the visiting representatives from the Slinky Planet.

Coily appreciates the effort.

A clean spring is a happy spring. And, unless you are going to raise their salaries, it is the easiest way to insure their happiness.

It might as well be Spring…..

It is silly, but think of all that you have accomplished after you finish… uh… never mind.

Silly but very amusing. Made me laugh.

Ah, an oldie but a goodie.

Brewster has a point. What does “spring” mean on an orbiting space station, anyway? After all, it’s not confined to a single hemisphere. During every orbit it crosses the equator, so it passes from “spring” to “fall” and back again, over a dozen ties a day!

You don’t want them to get rusty, do you?

Ya know what Spring Cleaning came from? When the central heating of homes was a coal powered monster in the basement, each year in the Spring everyone had to wash/clean the walls of their houses to remove the coal residue left from the winter.

Can’t disagree with the man…

Ha! I love silly!

Very timely, as spring officially begins tomorrow.

As if the world didn’t need more clean springs??

Maybe she has something Slinky-er he can help with. That would be a helix of an idea.

Pam, you keep forgetting, you have to be very specific with Brewster.

That must be what’s keeping the R.U. Sirius in orbit. it’s certainly not Cliff’s engineering skill.

Boooo! ;-)

The puns in today’s comic are making me recoil.

once again, brewster springs into action…

Brewster’s less than stellar intellect is worrisome enough, but I’m far more concerned about which critical piece of station equipment he pulled those springs from.
