Ka-punch-o! Man: You and your sinful mustache are going down, English! Rip: Is that a quilting needle?! Man: My pitchfork is in the shop! Rip: This is for mustachios everywhere! They go with beards like pepperoni with pizza! Punchy! Man: Fie on your modern-world references! Fi-eeeeeee!

I must have missed something. When did the Amish start using ten-wheel trucks? I thought it was all horse-drawn cart.

I would say using a ten-wheel truck to enslave women into making pies and quilts IS an idle pursuit!Especially when Rip Haywire is coming to the rescue.

Nowadays, anything can be used as a weapon.I wouldn’t be surprised if the driver has his spool of thread on stand-by.

I’ll bet some Amish would find this story arc fascinating. Since it’s unlikely any Amish read Rip, it should be in book form with a little intro and some background. The kids do read some comics (Archie, Peanuts) but Rip might be a little out there. Why don’t you send a dozen copies to Fisher’s General Store in Georgetown and see if anybody buys them?
