Rubes by Leigh Rubin for March 29, 2024

It’s like they’re brothers!

Poor Zork. If that space ship breaks down, he is out of luck for finding a place to fix it. Guess he will have to take place among earth’s ‘creatures’ and enjoy a ‘primitive’ type of life.

George Flintstone and Gazoo origin story.

Hmmmm! Wonder if Zork knows Alf?

Does Zork know Mork from Ork?

Hmm. Grok’s name may have saved the human species.

What?… They are both named Fred???

“Now, let’s talk about your car’s extended warranty.”

I grok you, you dork.

Reminds me of Prometheus and Bob from “Kablam!”

I like Zork, but Zork II was my favorite

“Now let’s get on with the probe thing”

And the fact that the spaceship looks like a comic strip cave

E.T.’s a pleasure to meet you.

Are we sure their names aren’t Fred and Gazoo?

They’re both left handed too

….And how they are depicted in single panel cartoons.

meeting grok, he doesn’t feel like a stranger in a strange land…
