Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 30, 2009

Just what does the spectrum of vaporized ham look like, and how would Brewster know?

Johanan Rakkav, excellent questions, which may be without answers , in this case…

I think he is full of baloney.

that’s how probes get a bad name

And possibly Winky…thanks to whom the spectrum of vaporized spleen should be known to everyone by now.

You will only find some leftover turkey!

B&W again…

Indeed. It’s not the probes to outer space that are the problem - it’s the probes to inner space!

Mornin’, Doc! I’m about to fuel up on some bottled and chilled Starbuck’s Dark Chocolate Mocha Frappuchino, the house currently being out of coconut milk or any other fluid suitable for the preparation of fresh CocoMocha…

The detail of the artwork shows up much better in black and white.

Wait, what’s Pam doing to the back of his chair? Scatching an itch?

“Sensors indicate meat on a bone. Detonating in 3… 2… 1…”

Some people probably wish that the entire Wizard of Oz movie was in black and white, just to be difficult.

But what good is vaporized ham? The probe will likely destroy the entire ship anyway and the crew will be annihilated. So what does it matter? Good going Brewsky!

I believe Dr. Mel’s comment in the middle panel is an actual quotation from a NASA scientist.

For many years the entire Wizard of Oz movie was in black-and-white. Then we bought a color TV.

Keep that spectrometer calibrated or you may find beef instead.
