Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 18, 2009

Dr. Mel, you are too cruel…

Hey I thought they said there were no death panels! Must be oldbots are not covered under the gov plans…or are they?

Must be run by Jawas.

“Cash for clunkers”…hm…isn’t that pretty much how Soylent Green got going?

Dr. Mel is in for a surprise—he can trade in Oldbot. But he’ll be waiting a long time before he collects his $.

What’s wrong with low millage ‘bots?…

Maybe that smart looking bowtie will count for extra bucks.

I didn’t know Oldbot was a sport-utility automaton.

Oldbot (unbeknownst to many) is programmed with old, important, vital data and must be maintained.

yep, he’s programmed with the only copy of Zork written in COBOL….

That is true for us too, wicky.

(“Sexy,Female voice” over radio) …”drink NEW SOYLENT COLA” bREWSTER: “I wonder how that tastes?” Pam: “I hear it varies from Person to Person.”

Sure, this was predictable, but inevitable.

I just can’t see this happening. Would Tim really kill off one of his main characters?

And yes, Jo Jo, I agree - that snappy bowtie is way-cool. I wonder if they make them in human sizes.

I dunno, Roger. Tim keeps on killing off Ensign Kelly and Winky and they keep on coming back somehow.

Soylent health care too?

My brother’s birthday. He’s less of a clunker than I am.
