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!

Too bad this is a stand alone book. It definitely needs sequels. If you are a science fiction fan you will bust up totally over the strips spoofs. Just couldn't get enough of the "Oh, no my Spleen!" Hilarious! You'll love it!

This guy is really wrong in the head and really funny. He gets you laughing that kind of laugh where your stomach muscles are contracting. I really recommend this.

My local paper dropped the Brewster Rockit strip a few months back, and I was having withdrawal symptoms. Bought the book and really enjoyed it. Seeing the early strips and the evolution of the characters and the drawing style was a bonus.
My favorite episodes are the ones with Winky and his spleen and the ones with Dr. Mel explaining (accurately) some fairly high-powered science and physics that usually end with Winky and his spleen (again). If you haven't seen the strip check out the book, it's funny stuff.

My kids loved reading it. They were glued to the book while other gifts were left unopened. We hope there is another book coming out soon.

I bought this comic strip book for my son after he had read a bit of it online and thought it to be funny. Funny was an understatement. The book turned out to be laugh-out-loud hilarious.
I'm hoping for a second comic strip book.

Very funny. My husband and I like it. My 11 year old (boy) and 9 year old (girl) couldn't put it down. They read it cover to cover, and think it is very funny. I got to read it after they did. Fun for all. The kids enjoy the spoofs on well-known movies (Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings...). We want more!

I love the Brewster Rocket comics and was really upset when our local paper (The Mercury News in San Jose) dropped the strip. I was therefore delighted when I found a whole book full of Brewster comics in this fine collection of BR:SG strips. I'm hoping there will be a volume 2 someday soon. Vendor's service was excellent and the book was great.
