Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! [Paperback]

Tim Rickard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2007

You don't have to be a Trekkie or own a light saber to enjoy this cosmic space parody.

The brainchild of cartoonist Tim Rickard, Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! is woefully ill-prepared to be the captain of space station R. U. Sirius. Together with his bumbling crew of misfits, including Engineer Cliff Clewless and Science Officer Doctor Mel Practice, Brewster encounters a constantly challenging set of interplanetary anomalies that push the limits of space, time, and humor continuums.

As a fan of science fiction, I absolutely adore Brewster Rockit Space Guy. I think you have to love Outer Space, and all the creatures we imagine might occupy Outer Space, to truly appreciate the strip. Not only does the strip have hilarious space jokes, but there is plenty of good banter between the characters. My only regret is that the book is too short for the addiction I have to Brewster Rockit Space Guy. I hope the comic strip comes out with a new book soon!!!

Mr. Rickards very funny strip certainly is a world unto itself. I can't quite think of another comic strip (except "Pearls Before Swine") that has so many dark edges, and yet remain so funny. Where else except in this comic strip collection can you see contemporary humans allied with Tolkiens Hobbits in a battle against the Wicked Wizard of the West in Land of Oz? Insane!

We get only the Sunday version of Brewster Rockit in our local paper, so it was fun seeing entire story lines in this book. Both my kids are big Brewster Rockit fans as well, and we could barely pry this book out of their hands during a long car trip this summer. Tim Rickard peppers his strips with lots of pop culture and sci-fi references in a kind of absurd humor. Very fun and very funny!
