Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 13, 2022

He sometimes know how to write an ‘e’?

Apparently there’s still con men. How far into the future do we have to go to avoid them?

We solved it, we just haven’t done anything about it yet.

Looks like Cliff has been reading the Calvin and Hobbes strips.

The future is now.

Doesn’t it happen at 0200?

Better begin your exercise regimen, Pam. After all, you’ve got the dumbbells.

Ha! Good one.

For the record, science technically recently did solve global warming, by inventing fuel cells that are powered by draining carbon dioxide from the air and converting it to oxygen, so if that is applied on a large world-spanning scale it could likely solve the problem. However, Bill Gates has heavily invested in the invention, so he is technically in a position to shut it down if he wants to, and I distrust the altruism of his intentions.

Of course global warming is solved. It now called climate change.

All of humanity lives in space now, so it doesn’t matter anymore.

Brewster may be a bit delusional, but I like his positive spin on the future and solving the greatest problem of our time, climate change.

Hey Calvin, why is a box a time machine? Cause Hobbies, it’s SCIENCE!

But the hour jump goes from 2:00 to 3:00.

Poor Brewster, even Cliff can con him.

Calvin did it better.

he’s fortunate he did not hop into the Transmogrifier !

It’s all about the timing…

If nature abhors a vacuum, how come Brewster’s head hasn’t collapsed?

Now there’s an idea. What if we just set our “clocks” ahead 10,000 years? Surely the problem will have gone away by then.

That box can’t be a time machine – it’s not blue (and doesn’t appear to be made of wood.)

Hate to be THAT guy, but…doesn’t the time switch at 2am to 3am, not 1 to 2?

This reminds me of a married couple I read about that gave birth to twins during the “fall back” switch. The first twin was born around 2:50 am and the second, around 2:15 am. Cue lifelong discussion over who’s the elder.

Ahh yes. DST, all the fun of jetlag without having to leave home

DST typically kicks in at 0200, not 0100.

Makes much more sense than Daylight Saving.

Did we solve that daylight saving time problem?
