Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for November 16, 2022

It’s not just fruit, Rip. It’s iFruit.

I don’t get how stores can make money when they are that specialized. How much money can there be in Apples. It’s kind of like how the malls always talk about their anchor stores. How many people need to buy anchors every day to support 2 or more anchor stores in every mall. Even worse are the anchor stores located in places where there aren’t a lot of lakes or rivers nearby where you even need an anchor. How do those places stay in business?

39 Shopping Days Until Christmas!!!

Is Rip so obtuse that he doesn’t understand that it’s the Apple COMPUTER store? RJ might like the latest iPad, though it would be a poor substitute, for what he’d really like to find under the tree.

What’s up with the starry background being visible where it shouldn’t be?

Kind of an OUTER LIMITS vibe here, with the snowflakes showing against the shadowy parts but not the visible jacket bits. Colorist threatened to quit again, huh?

This feels semi-meta.

How about an Official, Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock. :)

KA-APPLE STORE!

Yeah, expensive fruit.
