Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 12, 2023

Lunch time, launch time, easy mistake to make.

My toy of imagination was a jet plane. Speaking of planes at age six I set off to ride eleven miles to watch P.G.Taylor take off in a Catalina flying boat to fly across the Pacific Ocean. I allowed two hours but never made it in time, too hilly.

Put your helmet off and listen what mom said

Ground control to Major Red

Adjourn your launch for lunch instead

Detach from your box and may lots waffles be with you

That was a Red alert from Red’s Mom.

Time for some Space Food Sticks and Tang!

Love the little details, like the name of the ship, ‘Friendship,’ and the Quaker Oats box! And love my little darlings, too!

Space episode I wanted , space episode WE got! That was a tremendous ! Appreciate Brian.

I love this! Thank you, Brian.

Always keep the bigger boxes for the kids! (and cats)

Nice Gemini rocket!

Talk about whiplash!

Just noticed the Quaker Oats container on Red’s back. Hilarious

Ah yes, the good ole Quaker Oats round cardboard container. It could become so many things. It and a little string and it was an air pack. Tape two or three together and it was the body of a rocket or stick on a piece of wood for a handle and it was a bazooka.

Is there a Pringles can on his back? Product Placement in a comic? Hope he’s getting something for it.

Good one… Love it when Red and Rover have flights of fantasy…
