Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 05, 2023

Grandpa! – from the alternate universe

[nerd alert] I’m old enough to remember when ‘pure maple syrup’ was all you could buy. “Pancake syrup” was invented as a cheaper alternative and now there are folks who have never tasted the real thing.

ka-sweet

Reminds me of the cartoon “Marvelous Misadventures of FLapjack” and the character Captain Knuckles, who used to drink maple syrup from a flask he kept in his jacket.

We haven’t seen Grandpa Haywire in quite a while. This should be good.

Make it Grade “A” Maple Syrup.

There is a difference in strength between Canadian and US maple syrup. Only Canadians can handle the True North variety.

In the form of acerglyn?

Hitting bottom has never been so sweet.

“Mr Jones, Pancreas called and said you should stop drinking that stuff.” “The hospital in London?” “No, the organ in your torso.”

Is that Rodeo Jones’s grandpa?

Did Rip’s hair go back to normal when the Call of the Wild storm ended, or did Breezy give him a haircut?

KA-PURE MAPLE SYRUP!

Good to see Rip’s Grandpa again.

Of course Don Juan and Romeo would be partners!
