Free Range by Bill Whitehead for October 17, 2024

“Fool Time.”

Good job on the tools, Whitehead. They’re all recognizable.

Toolbelt Tom!

Somebody’s got a screw loose here, and I’m gonna do something about it.

Hmmm… make a “Swiss Army Belt” joke or ask if he stole Batman’s utility belt?

They must have had heavy beards in the old west, all the way up to their eyes!

He gonna fix theengs For A Fistful Of Dollars. And For A Few Dollars More he gonna do maintenance too.

Ha! :D

“Can you fix my cat?”

“Whoa, never saw that coming.” Festus.

Standard or metric?

“ I reckon.”

“ Yeah, and I fixin’.”

No slip joint pliers or Vice Grips. Every cowboy and farmer has at least one pair of slip joint pliers. You can’t fix anything without Vice Grips.

Oh look, Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor is back in town.

Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor’s ancestor.

What’s his name? Jack Handy?

Curtains?

“After I’m done I’ll get out the shop-vac and clean up this town!”

What kinda fixin’ you have in mind?

Be careful, Hickock Repairs, Inc. is known for their wild billing.

Standing outside is his sidekick, holding a broom. He’s gonna clean up the town.
