Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! is a satirical, retro-futuristic comic strip that chronicles the (mis)adventures of the lantern-jawed, lunkheaded, and sometimes childlike Brewster Rockit, captain of the space station R.U. Sirius, and his crew of misfits. Under Brewster’s brave and eternally-optimistic leadership, Pam is the tough and pragmatic second-in-command, Cliff is the completely unqualified engineer, Dr. Mel is the scheming science officer, Agent X is the mysterious government agent who gives them their orders and hides their existence from the world, and Winky is the cute, luckless kid who manages to get hurt a lot.

On Star Trek, everybody’s ships were oriented the same way.

Q: Does Brewster have vertigo?
A: Not too far, just to the edge of the room.

Panel 3 is giving me vertigo.

A Fine Example of ’This has no Relation to Star Trek whatsoever" as exemplified by the Name of the Space Station R U SIRIUS which, I have it on Good Authority, bears the Hull registry WTH-0MG-HWGA

re:simpsonfan2
Writers and producers forget the 3rd dimension of space. In Wrath of Khan, the Enterprise makes use of Khan’s “two dimensional-thinking”.

at least he isn’t driving everyone else up the wall this time.

Sometimes they were, sometimes they weren’t. I suspect the reason they were oriented in the same way more often than not was just that it’s probably a bugger to change out the wire connections on the models.

How is that odd for Brewster?

Like WillardB…. I’m wondering….
How can you tell when Brewster is acting “odd?”

Of course, in The Empire Strikes Back, Han evades two Star Destroyers by diving straight down… relative to them, anyway.
But in Wrath of Khan, Kirk comes up behind Khan, rather than attacking from ‘below’…

Brewster’s not disoriented. In fact, he’s got the hang of it.

Kiss him, Pam! Dare ya!

I would say that one or both ships would orient itself to the other so the ships would be on the same plain.
All be it we never saw the maneuver.

Well Brewster explains tea partiers who think the world is upside down.
