Close to Home by John McPherson for May 24, 2021

Thank goodness the real one landed in the ocean.

Something tells me he will not reproduce.

It’s in remarkably good shape!

And tomorrow we’re gonna get Roman candles.

Don’t give it back unless they give you a new lawn chair!

The Brown family’s security cam captured the footage that will win them the title on America’s funniest video title with…“Rocketman takes shot to the nuts”

Now you can sue the Chinese government, and get compensation!!

Are we sure that is the one in the paper? Let’s not jump to conclusions!

Lucky you, Bleeb.

Found it!

So what’s it say in your fortune?

Some people are unlucky and some people are UNLUCKY.

…gasp!

There was an article in the paper this weekend, “What are your rights if space junk falls on you.”

Duck bleeps

A rocket named COVID.

That can’t be P.C…

That is a pretty small rocket.

Yup, that’s what I always imagined. Sort of Wile E. Coyote Yang.

Nice catch!

This couldn’t happen, the odds are too high against it. Hey, good day to buy a Powerball ticket!

Dooooooh! Ya got Me Doc…… right in the epiglottis!!

Finally…. she will get his social security check in full! All the years of waiting patiently and Chinese State Capitalism Finally Delivered On Its Promise!

At least he won’t need new eyeglasses

I saw no humor in this one.

Ouch! Right in the fortune cookies.

A rocket that returns to earth intact? Did Elon Musk sell out?

I am “of that age” where you would expect something like this from anything that says Made in China.

Gut bomb!

The scrap metal should fetch a good price.

Honey. Call our lawyer……

That is a little too ‘close to home’ for them!

oopsie

Found it!

And you thought COVID was bad!

Now if this was in the sports toons category, he’d be ready, maybe in the stands, with a mitt to catch it.

…this is supposed to be funny?

What’s that ticking noise? Waving back at you Bleeb! :)

He forgot to put on some rocket block.

Ouch!

I bet all of his clothes, sandals, eyeglasses and the lawn chair were made in China.

The brother rides a Japanese “crotch rocket” but that’s the first Chinese one I’ve ever seen.

Ah, nuts!
