Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 12, 2020

I guess Tim didn’t want to go for the low-hanging fruit and nominate Uranus.

y’totally left out one important source of gas

A fart joke on a planetary scale, but still just a fart joke.

“His five-year emission, to explore strange new odors…”

It was a tough fight. Cliff beat Uranus to be on the nomination list.

Drats, I didn’t make the list.

The rest of us don’t share that sentiment, Cliff.

They ask the ’anuses back to be award presenters.

And of course, Cliff blew right by the competition.

Cliff passed on the after parties

Don’t forget Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

His second nomination will be for Most Inert Object.

Neptune is an Ice Giant not a Gas Giant and yes I know I am being too picky and it’s just a comic. Why not nominate an exo-world like Kepler-7b?

They’re hoping he’ll win the vacation to Uranus so they can fumigate the space station.

“Nominated, nothin’. THE WINNER!!”

So, all the “Galactic” Award nominees are in our Solar System? Sounds as mis-named as “World Series” and “Miss Universe”. Ok, so the last is more extreme.

People like Cliff are especially Unpopular in a closed environment like a space station.

We had a guy like that in my division when I was in the Navy. He developed a liking for Pickled Eggs with his beer. No amount of complaining had any effect until, one morning, he found himself locked up in a Pyrotechnics locker, only 4 feet by 4 feet, for about 3 hours. When he was finally let out, he agreed that the stench was objectionable.

The smell never did fade in that locker. It soaked into the paint. Luckily, it only needed to be visited for a couple minutes each day to check the Temperature because we never used any of the Pyrotechnics stored in it.

I assume Ensign Kenny will turn up in the White Dwarf category.
