Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 12, 2021

Thankfully they’re good listeners, having so many ears.

I thought they were from the corn husker state.

The first sign that they were coming to take over was the corns on people’s feet.

Very topical and extremely subtle strip today.

Just wait until things get popping.

Lend me your ear so I can give you a kernel of wisdom.

Brewster, you must not give up and you start the fight and make a CORNage with them.

First, they’ll start stalking us…

then we’ll notice our hair growing pale, like silk.

Soon, our clothes will all be husky sizes…

and instead of working, we’ll fritter away our time reading comics.

Nooooo….. now I’m getting steamed…

Why are the Corn People held in such high regard? Because they’re all outstanding in their fields.

Just so they don’t refer to their offspring as Children of the Corn.

Oh no. They is goings to ban pop corn because it offends them!

I hope I can CORNtribute to their removal from the station and can PONEey up some help in this.

The Corn People can just kiss my grits.

I’m waiting for the obvious outcome where they can’t take the heat and go popping mad.

brewster’s finding it hard to hide his scorn…

I hear they taste good roasted or boiled, especially drenched in butter.

Butter them up

Corn silk. That’s good smoking.

They are a-maize-ing

A bit flakey.

What’s he popping off about?

How nice. Now step right into this microwave, er I mean, “sauna”

They must have been staulking us for a while.

Let us butter you up. Corn on the cob for dinner and popcorn for the movie after.

Why are all the aliens coming to R.U. Sirius food items? Have they not met Cliff?

Remember how Red Skelten would pinch the bridge of his nose? Well, I’m doing that now. (Bad)

\\//_

Tough one. For you non-speakers of español, ‘maiz’ = corn.

This goes against the grain.

The matter will be investigated by Chief Inspector Cobb…

Is their commanding officer Kernel Hogan?

They’re the “suck” in succotash… ㋡

Aw, shucks.

Just send them to talk to Orville Reddenbacher. Problem solved.

The cornniest flakes anybody makes is Kellogg’s.

The head guy is the Colonel.

Hominy days’ worth of strips do you think Mr. Rickard can get out of this idea?

Clearly a GMO mon, sent to take over.

Did they come out of a “Field of Dreams” or “Field of Nightmares”?

Friends, Romans, Cornymen! Lend me your ear!

Sure, but is it grass?

My late father was a corn geneticist. If only he knew where this would one day lead us…

Do they conquer by placing corn mazes everywhere? That would do it for the Forth’s…

That’s not going to be easy, guys.

We’re gonna need more butter. And salt.

Brewster has great faith in the Corn People’s abilities; I, for one, can’t imagine this strip getting any cornier than it already is.

I have a feeling that we are going to have a week full of corny puns, so lets cut to the cob and work on getting them out now, so just popcorn out your ideas.

The first Corn Person is wearing a husk for clothes. Very nicely draped husk. Love the fashion. Green is so in this season. But the, the other Corn People are just walking around with no clothes on! “Awww, shucks, we got shucked.”

Good luck, cornball, humans will eat you down to the cob. Watch out for the “Butter Ray”.

Brewster should be corncerned.

oh great…a week of corny jokes

I’ve had am earful of your attitude. i ought to pop you one.

So, this is who the GQP is going corn-nuts about?

i like corn jokes as much as anyone, but Cow & Boy just covered the whole field of corn jokes a few months ago

Talk about too many chiefs and not enough Indians …

Everybody in their military is a Colonel.
