Nice to see some good quality stuff on the SF humor front.
The above is today's edition ( Jan 6. 2009) of the space adventure comic strip Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!, the brainchild of cartoonist Tim Rickard.
I'll let Tribune Media Services give the description:
Brewster Rockit is an unlikely captain. He's woefully ill-prepared to lead ... and that's part of his charm. Orbiting the stars in the space station R.U. Sirius, Brewster and his crew of misfits encounter a host of interplanetary anomalies. Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! pushes the limits of space, time and humor."
See also Go Comics, which publishes an RSS feed.
and Wikipedia, for a character list.
Wikipedia desribes the series as satirical retro-futuristic comic strip : "The comic's storylines are often obvious parodies of well-known science fiction and fantasy movies, television series, and books, as well as current events and contemporary pop culture."

Ah how the circle repeats itself.
I recall my school system. In many ways I see how our modern society is just reflecting
the roles and records we learned there. How we were taught and skilled in the ways of consumerism and proper society. A new civ would thus have a new education system but when I look at the system of the day, I see how we are now raising a society of gangsters, criminals and soldiers in the vistas of the video games and such.
Sad that something so important is left to the vices of commercial enterprise and well what is the gaming mentality? It isn't really living but thus deposits its lessons and wastes upon the society and civilization we build. Its not that bad no, but it could be better. My high schools motto was nil sid optimun "nothing but the best". Todays mantra would seem to be Kay sa ra sa ra. Well anyway. I don't know much about education theory but I figure if you want to change humanity and civilization then you do it through education and not prisons or through politics, war or consumption.
So perhaps then let us reflect on those high school dazes of old and see where we were, where we are and what could have been and could be different. Were you really in control of your choices or were you just following the herd and peers and the system of the day. Are you satisfied where you ended up thus or was or is there more to life than the Pepsi Generation and is that really what you want for your kids and grand kids?
Anyway just some musings from a muse from snowy Alberta.

Was just reminiscing about my grandparents
and wrote this tune
enjoy
ed
Grandmas Kitchen
Well I remember those Sunday dinners, at Grandpas and Grandmas Place,
Well the folks would come from miles around dressed in suits and fancy lace.
Well the men would sit at the table, and the women would hover about,
And us kids would scurry underfoot till to be sure there was a shout.
Chorus
Grandmas kitchen sure smelt good with them roasts and gravies too,
And Grandmas kitchen had more love than any place I ever knew.
Well the years they kept on passing, as the years well they will do,
and there was never no shortage of Sundays so the family it grew and grew.
And even in the days fore her passing, the clan would still oh gather nigh,
and Grandma fed us all till God took her up oh to the Heavens side.
Chorus
Grandmas kitchen sure smelt good with them roasts and gravies too,
And Grandmas kitchen had more love than any place I ever knew
than any place I ever knew..
