Strange Brew by John Deering for March 21, 2025

“Battlescar” Galactica.

Well, you CAN’T …. trust the “force!!!”

o-O

It’s always something.

Warranty ran out????

Should have gotten the extended warrantee.

Text messaging with Tim Rickard on a regular basis.

Now you tell me.

Looks like a PokeBall.

Exhaust ports are on backorder for 9 months.

If they had just put screens over the exhaust ports this wouldn’t be an issue right now.

See today’s Brewster Rockit: www.gocomics. com/brewsterrockit/2025/03/21?ct=v&cti=2007597

A defect in the catastrophic diverter?

Death Star was designed by Elon Musk?

It’s his own fault. They called Vader dozens of times about the warranty and he just ignored them.

The mechanic only had an old Corellian YT-1300 light freighter for a loaner. Real old, but pretty fast.

Unscheduled disassembly?

Two strips today have as their topic a movie from 48 years ago… and one, its sequel from a mere 45 years ago… and it’s not even May the Fourth.

A 1977 Deathstar – that does sound like a lot of the cars from the ’70s!

Make sure you get a loaner Death Star while they’re working on it.

Your Deathstar will become a flaming Cybertruck! Good luck with that!

Re your safety net editorial cartoon: Excellent. Sad and true but Excellent.

Anybody who’s seen “Rogue One” knows that design “flaw” wasn’t a bug, it was a feature.

The recall was buried by DOGE safety auditor firings.

Ignore it, it says “may”.

They dropped the vent cover because they were late and over budget. There’s a recall on the low bid white body armor for under performance. They went way over budget on the inter galactic 3D holographic projection communications theater. They were late because they kept repainting because nobody agreed on the shade of evil empire domination black.

And you bet his Death Star insurance doesn’t cover it.

What’s an aluminum falcon? What do you mean it blew up? We haven’t even started payments on it yet!
