Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 30, 2011

My planet’s here already? Wow, that was fast!

Slartibartfast delivers.

This looks like the set-up for George Pal’s 1951 movie When Worlds Collide based on the novel by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer (1933). (There is a remake from DreamWorks scheduled for 2012.)

Alternate speculation: Will Dr. Mell play the roll of Hans Zarkof, with Brewster Rockit as a bumbling Flash Gordon?

Hmmmm I just realized the word “neighborhood” sounds like – Nibiru - the legendary collision Planet X…

OH NO! The planet of the door-to-door salesmen.

The Daily Planet… Wasn’t that Superman’s gig?

We need to give serious thought to the gravity of this situation.

Perhaps it’s a fresh delivery from the Doughnut Planet

Oh, it clashes with our planet. I hope it came with a prepaid return label.

Can’t be my planet. I always order pepperoni.

Hey somebody stop that world! I want to get on!

Mondas? Gor? Bizarro World? Some other counter earth?

ARF2,There was also “After Worlds Collide” by the same author(s).

Obviously, Brewster didn’t planet out ahead of time.

Agent X will have a very hard time keeping this a secret.

Well, they did say delivery in 30 million years or it’s free.

Look out, it’s about to Moon us

I seems like it would take longer to form a planet without the force of an orderly system. Most such would probably be relatively new, though some rogues may be left over from blown stars, or have been knocked loose by stray debris.

I know how to get rid of planets, just sic the International Astronomical Union on it.

Hello, Jimmy John’s?

That looks familiar, like maybe the last scene of the season finally for the TV show “The Event”. Just saying…

There are some that believe Venus is a captured planet…

This strip makes me realize how much I miss Space: 1999.
