I think the joke is presented a little too subtle and not easy to understand. The “Space Potato” as Brewster calls him, feels he is not a valued member of the crew. He is trying to show he is a serious, worthwhile person. Agent X completely misses this, and trivializes the poor guy, by pointing out an unimportant mistake. I have binge read all of Brewster twice, and I love it. Tim Rickard is a Comic Genius and an exceptional Artist. I wanted to go back and reread the series on the Cat People, but can’t remember when it ran. I don’t want to reread the whole Brewster collection yet. (Maybe in a year or so, after my elderly brain forgets some of it! ) So, I am hoping someone can tell me when the Cat People ran. I just signed up for my free 30 day trial of GoComics, and I am sure I will continue with it. I prefer it to ComicsKingdom) I used to not read Comments, but I do now, and the humor, answers, and insight in them really add to the experience.
Probably “Hair-oin.”
