Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 13, 2020

He didn’t notice an alien taste when giving her mouth to mouth? Is this whole story line a bad dream?

Oh my! Reminds me of a scene from Galaxy Quest, where the pretty girl being kissed, was, well……..ugg!

Maybe it can masquerade taste? Well, there definitely will be no more Ka-mouth-to-mouth for Rip.

He noticed all the black bars in the puddle that aren’t actually there, right?

I really think this is going to reflect badly on both of them.

So the gorgeous teran looking woman Rip is a shape shifter. Be intersting to see why she tok on the shape of an very attractive Terran woman.

I’m guessing less a shape shifter than a shape projector? Because if she had actually shifted shape, wouldn’t that still be reflected in the water? Oh well… not my planet, not my rules.

Looks like an episode of Star Trek TOS and he is Captain Kirk

Aha. Just what the alien astronaut theorists had always suspected!

Ka-AHA!

KA-PLOT TWIST!

KA-YIKES!!

KA-PIZZA PRETZELS!

So the lovely Zantar actually looks like Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons? I can’t blame Rip for being shocked!

Well… He still has a wife, daughter, adopted son, dog, horse and father (and possible evil step-mother) to get home to.

I wonder how they’re doing…

ka-squid

Not surprised. No way these guys could have been human…..

Maybe Rip can have a couple of years in reader time as a Space Cowboy and after that gets old fall into a magic worm hole that sends him back in time to prevent that rocket launch that started this whole thing. The rest of the regular cast would never even know he was gone.
