In the strip where they find out they need to hide out…The newspaper couldn’t identify the sharp chinned accomplice or his less than bouncy haired hostage..So, Rip using his name isn’t a problem… that way I wouldn’t confuse readers with an alias…but now I’m confusing readers with no alias…I can’t win! =)

Don’t worry Mr.Thompson, most of us get it…and I can’t Ka-wait to see where this story line is going!

@Dan ThompsonWhile I was Ka-fused about the name it seems that Rip is going to have a hard time hiding in suburbia with his take charge attitude.

This strip has always been “Darn, the plotlines! Full steam ahead!”

Commander Haystack seems like a believable alias…

I could go for some DiGiorno! And maybe some Swiss Miss as an after-dinner drink.

And war has been declared……To Dan Thompson, Haywire Hooligans and Ripscallions……I just want to let you all know that I may be off the grid for a while. I, and my fellow Bermudians, are preparing ourselves for the arrival of Hurricane Gonzalo.Now, last weekend we had a surprise visit from Tropical Storm Fay. Now, we don’t usually go into a panic when something like this happens, but Fay hit us pretty hard.…It was a KA-Sock to the Jaw worthy of Haywire. …Our homes are built according to strict codes to be able to withstand powerful storm winds to keep the damage minimal, but many trees have been uprooted, leading to damaged power lines. I believe some people are still without power.…Now, Gonzalo decides he wants to come to Bermuda. Last time I checked, he’s a Category 4. This one might be a problem.…But let me let you in on a little secret… Once we finish battening down the hatches, one of our favourite pre-hurricane traditions is enjoying the views of the beaches. Bermuda is surrounded by coral reefs (and a couple of shipwrecks, as well! Go figure…), which keep the beach waters calm. When a hurricane is nearby, the waves become worthy of Hawaiian surfers. It’s quite a sight to see them tower over the rocks.…Mr. Thompson, keep doing what you’re doing! I love how this story is coming along, and I’ll be sure to KA-backtrack when things get back to normal here.…KA-Ta-Ta for now…!
