Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 29, 2019

If he doesn’t build the ape then he won’t need to build the time machine to save him from something that doesn’t exist .

This comic strip of impossible possibilities has been brought to you by the ouroboros snake and M. C. Escher.

Proof that time travel is impossible: If it were, you could just go back in time and tell yourself how to build the machine (along with the winning lottery numbers to finance it).

Things to avoid:

I’ve got it! Build a time-traveling flame-throwing ape!

The ultimate evidence that time travel backwards is impossible is that nobody from the future have ever visited us in time machines.

So he succeeded in both but failed in one‽ My head hurts.

I’d like to time travel so that I could undo all the wrongs I committed between 1966 and 2019.

Would have been way cooler if it was a Phone Booth and Rufus (George Carlin) popped out!

If looking for time travel tips, contact Percival Dunwoody.

VWOOORP…VWOOORP….

Given that the universe is not static, any time travel that doesn’t also involve space travel will put you literally in the middle of nowhere.

Did he just rip off Rick and Morty?

My future self comes back periodically, but rarely has any useful advice.

Any Dr. Who fan knows that time is more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey — stuff.

What, no lottery numbers?

And no research baboons on the space station.

I think I like ‘ZOOP’ better than “ZANG”….

Crowd chant: “We want time travel!” – “When do we want it?” – “Yesterday!”…

I didn’t have a chance to read yesterday’s comic, so I just time traveled back to read it. It wasn’t quite as good as today’s so I’m glad to be back now.

So no free will then.
