The Nerd Bug in the second panel looks like the Eleventh Doctor. He does get asked a lot of questions, but usually they’re “Who are you?” and “How did you get in here?”
Doesn’t work around me. My family includes rednecks with physics degrees who have worked in aeronautics with NASA. YOU may never have seen people in overalls with no shirts being asked to verify deep space travel equations, but I have seen people in ripped t-shirts and trucker’s caps working out re-entry vector equations.
Let me tell you, you haven’t LIVED until you’ve had ‘shine made by someone who grew up with their pappy hiding from the revinooers in the woods, but who now is a chemical engineer, and has the computerized equipment to get the vapor pressure on granpappy’s mash perfect… stuff is AMAZING.
The Marshall Space Flight Center is in Alabama. It has one of the highest concentrations of rocket scientists in the world. And almost every one of them has a Southern draw. I do wish they’d stop mixing rocket fuel in their cubicles, though. Having buildings blow up randomly is rather inconvenient.
Also, I swear to Thor that Scruffy works there. He’s a janitor. I’ve seen him twice. With a mop bucket.
Brevard County, Florida. Smack-dab in the middle of redneck territory, and also Cape Canaveral. Redneck kids growing up looking at spaceships with NASA scientists coming into the schools to give extra enrichment classes. So you work on the farm hacking machines together the way that farmers do, and then you can do that for spaceships, too.
Hmm. What you are calling “overalls” looks strongly like what over here in Germany is called „Latzhose“ which in turn would be “dungarees”. Colour me confused.
Otherwise, the strip is hilariously funny, as always!
The title pun. Arrrrrrghhhh!
It hurts it hurts.

But what if people then pester you to sing “Come On Eileen” to them?

Well now, There’s a redneck joke Jeff Foxworthy never touched on. Rednecks with physics degrees.

Where do we place our orders?
Deen has the right idea. Where DO we place our order?
Man, that’s made of pure awesome.

I was thinkin’ plenty of engineers would dress rough while working on fancy stuff.
“Thinkin’ jug” ROFLMAO Love it! :-{O> Actually, that should be SIMCLMAO!
Okay, I’ll bite – WHAT does SIMCLMAO mean?
Probably “sitting in my chair laughing my ass off”. Some people just can’t be bothered to stop, drop and roll when they read a good joke.
Love the website redesign, Adam. Now I know I can buy your comic if I have a couple extra bucks in my pocket!

Actually “Latzhosen” are overalls in general and dungarees is just the word for the specific kind of overall.
