Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for May 13, 2024

And we begin the big reversal.

Trust TNT to decode that.

So this not dream sequence but a very elaborately planned plot eh.

I tried to write my comment in Rip’s code, but autocorrect changed every word into something else, and it became too annoying (especially on an iPad). But I was pretty sure we weren’t going to lose Breezy.

If Rip finds that complex he might be not the brightest candle on the cake.

What does “take a bast” mean?

Er…trust no one except TNT he’s a good boy!!! Its Ka-readable!!!

Well that was an easy enough code.

igpe atina! oolcay.

No, he isn’t! Secret head of the enemy (with fleas)!

Ka-mans best friend. But what if? Oh, my poor brain, or, at least what’s left of it. :)

Dan , I can teach you how to create a coded text if you want XD

KA-SECRET CODE!

I like how Rip lampshades the ridiculousness of Breezy and Dutch being Skull agents and how contradictory it seems. Now there appears to be an explanation. (Of course, it could still be just a dream.)

should have used pig latin

I think this is like the last Newhart episode where he wakes up and discovers the entire series was a dream. The past month of Rip makes me hope this is also the end of a deteriorating series!

The Latin of the Porcine.

Seriously, so funny! ☺️

The message doesn’t have any “kas” or should I say “a” as beginning letter and K being the end letter of any of those words.

“Rip, they are coming for us! They are coming for me! Trust no one! Except TNT, he’s good boy.”

When this is finally over, Rip needs to take a course in Pig Latin.

Dan is outright telling us that the Breezy & Dutch in this arc aren’t the real deal. Whew! For a while there, I was sure it was DAN who was affected by the mists of Blood Curdlin’ Mountain.
