Top Ten Comics from the Sunday Washington Post: Brewster Rockit Rocks..........

Yes, Thanksgiving, that holiday which falls between Halloween and Christmas, is going to be Thursday. So many comic strips focused on the upcoming occasion, including our personal favorite strip of the week, "Brewster Rockit: Space Guy."

The title character is at the centerpiece of Tim Rickard's comic strip as his co-workers or fellow space travelers talk about Brewster's inept, dubious clumsiness which frequently causes him to put things over his head.

"Reply All" by Donna A. Lewis focused on the title character, a suburban valley girl who likes to go to yoga and chat on her Blackberry, takes her dog for a walk during the Thanksgiving holiday, reflecting on the zaniness which comes with family gatherings.

Though it didn't finish in the top ten, "Mark Trail" provided a very informative examination of the turkey in North America, including the fact that wild turkeys almost became extinct at the outset of the 20th century.

As always, "Judge Parker," a soap opera comic strip that finished sixth this week, had some of our favorite lines, including the first line of the comic: "You Can't Be Serious.....The Drone Found the Car?;" drones were also the subject of "Blondie."

Here is our top ten:

1. Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!

3. Dustin

5. WUMO
