Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for September 17, 2009

O M G….. You have just destroyed the human race… Unless Doc’s nuclear coffee can save the day!

That plan is doomed to backfire. Pam is now angry enough to repel the entire invasion force by herself.

A whole world of coffee-deprived caffiene addicts - I wouldn’t want to try invading that!

I think you got it, Edcole1961! HUGE tactical error! :))

Don’t worry, everybody. If we can’t find the Doc, my morning mocha will take out any pointy-eared invaders that come along. :)

Edcole1961 - you are so right! I hope they do not continue with this story tomorrow because it is going to get very messy - lots of brains and ears flying around.

and that’s why I drink tea… mostly

Okay, I just made a response about that at “Adam@Home”.

Are you saying that Doc is going to employ the Nuclear Option?

Tis true that coffee is on the low end of the speed spectrum but there it is, and it would be an ugly world without it, and BTW tea has just as much caffine

Newenglandah - coffee pools? You guys are swimming in it now??

They can’t be that advanced if they haven’t been able to do anything about their receding hairlines.

One wonders if they remembered to steal the beans, too… or just the grinds…

Well it won’t go up in metropolitan New York office coffee nooks because the Daily News’ cartoon editor is enamored with absurdly unfunny single-panel strips. Hardly anyone here knows about Brewster – although some of us spread the word about seeing it online!

I surrender!

OK, now it all makes sense - “Brewster” Rockit. This was the second half of that equation.

On the plus side, no more Starbucks, which means everyone will have more money and the economy will be better than ever!

Come to think of it, that might actually be worth trying…

Agreed, Edcole 1961: Pam is P.O’d (will that get bleeped too?) enough to take the aliens on by herself. But there’s always Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull, etc. Unfortunately, in our office, they charge $2.50 for a 20 oz bottle of soda.

Sugar is horrible for you. Soft drinks are probably a major cause of diabetes. Same for the highly sugared coffee drinks. Diet sodas are not much better, because the carbonation produces acids which do bad things to you. (I think eating tooth enamel may be one of them.) Coffee (drunk black), on the other hand, has some very beneficial chemicals. Too much caffeine is harmful, but a couple of cups a day and a few cups of decaf do you well. Look up how much sugar is in a bottle of Coke, figure out the calories, and gasp.

Sorry if I got to serious there. Sometimes I forget it’s just a comic. I mean, it’s so realistic. Think I’ll go make myself another cup.

Those aliens must have been here today. Every time I went to get coffee in our staff lounge the pot was empty.

Hm. Death (in the current Liberty Meadows) looks rather like a bald version of these aliens in a hoodie. And both look rather like Mrs. Troi’s personal assistant. (It’s the head bones.)

Cruel – too cruel

You REALLY don’t want to anger her.

The Army, Navy and Air Force can’t operate with out Coffee. Not having Coffee would turn them into mindless zombies.
