Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 10, 2024

Shakespeare is turning in his grave.

15 years from now there’ll be a new brood.

She’s too old for him.

Should be the other way around, seeing as Juliet was 13.

She’s old enough to know the sound of her biological clock ticking.

It’s even more gross when you consider they’re technically different species.

“Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

And I bet, and you exploded into my heart

And I forget, I forget the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

♪ ♫ ~ Dire Straits

A pox on both your houses!

so, soon they will both have committed suicide. oh, how romantic! and gross.

Make the most of it. Your next date is in 221 years….

So, would their offspring be 15-year or 30-year cicadas?

Maybe things are backward in the Cicada world.

Also, a little surprised that Brewster knows Shakespeare!

Montagewws and Capuflits?

West Side Buggy.

The gross bits are the best part!

And really, really noisy.

Oh, Cicada, Cicada, where art thou?

Doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I prefer Romiet and Julio.

Every species has to deal with rebellious teenagers.

These May-December flings never work out.

I hope it has a better ending.

I actually wondered about this. Can the 2 broods cross bread? Which brood would the offspring belong to? See >
