Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 17, 2023

Are you sure you want a drunk squirrel on your hands?

Whos gonna stop me.

Just watch him.

Is what day does The health inspector come

No! He’ll Ralph if he drinks.

Ralph is used to eating nuts without a drink.

Should have bought the salted nuts.

S’okay Ralph… just order a Flying Purple Squirrel! You’ll probably have to tell the bartender how to make it, though…

2 oz light rum

1 oz coconut rum

1 oz Blue Curacao liqueur

1 oz grenadine syrup

1 oz fresh lime juice

1 oz club soda

Be careful crossing the street after having a few of those! None of that changing your mind half-way across.

Could be worse – you could have a squirrel on coffee

Squirrel Nut Zippers would’ve been a good name for a drink as well as the band.

Time for a little bar hopping, Ralph.

Ok! One Harvey Wallbanger…comin up!

Ralph will prove he can’t handle his liquor. He’s only in there for the nuts!

What goes well with nuts if you’re a squirrel?

Me: “Hey barkeep, I keep hearing voices telling me how sharply I’m dressed and how good my cologne smells, but I’m the only one in the place.” Barkeep: “It’s the nuts. They’re complimentary.”

pretzels, please.

Why knot???

Last call …!

Never eat from a public tray at a tavern. Similarly, never touch your bare fingers on the floor by the dimly lighted payphone.

I feel like this is Ralph’s day off. I like it. :)

I eat peanuts also with a “nom nom”

“Ah, nuts!”

It’s about time that squirrel was elevated in this comic— love it!
