Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for July 13, 2020

The extraterrestrials in this strip don’t come across as being all that sharp themselves, so Brewster may be on equal footing.

“His foe is – a can of SpaghettiO-s! With NO can opener!”

…and no pull tabs!

Brewster is a stable genius. So he will be fine.

Maybe he can bludgeon his opponents with the might of his ignorance instead.

“Stable genius’” will never be fine.

Brewster has a secret weapon; dumb luck.

Brings to mind the title of a Dilbert book, “It’s obvious you won’t survive by your wits alone “

I actually read the original short story about this before it made it to Star Trek. I’m sure the opponent will become so confused by Brewster’s idiocy, it will surrender.

Sounds like the incident with the Gorn on ST.

Brewster’s idiocy is his edge. His opponent will not be able to contend with it.

Dose this remind you of Kirk’s battle with the Gorn?

Have Brewster take Siri

“The Observer” kinda reminds me of Ted Cassidy …

“To test humans resiliency…”. So they picked someone who they know has been damaged by repeated alien probings, to represent humanity in this contest?

So they’re going to send him in unarmed?

And people wonder why we developed weapons. We are weaker, slower, less alert. All we have going for us is ability to use tools and cogitate on better ways to do things like kill.

I rely on my wits. Luckily, I’m rarely tested.

He’s not going up against a Gorn, is he?

Cue the soundtrack: https://youtu.be/Ml4wAnvfM4M

Brewster is Gorn to lose!

Has Ted MET Brewster?
