Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for July 17, 2013

Cobra really can shed those crocodile tears, can’t she?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive! Time to kick Cobra to da curb!!!!

Keep in mind that Breezy is the “Anti-Cobra”… She’s naive enough to eat all the baloney that CC is feeding her!

I think she only put on a robe. And I bet she did it because Dan caught flack over her sleepwear.

She was alone wearing her sleepwear in her apartment/house when Cobra barged in. When she went to get the wine, she took the opportunity to put on a robe.

Boob to Boob communication … I likie !!!!!

just remember a Cobra is still a snake in the grass

I thought she was wearing short shorts when Cobra came in; I too was wondering what prompted her to change her outfit. And I hope Breezy remains naive. I mean, everyone in this strip personifies an extreme – T.J.‘s the reliably consistent coward, Breezy’s the quintessence of innocence, Cobra’s the relentlessly seductive femme fatale, Rip’s the indefatigable hero. And Dan’s the creator of the best written, best drawn, and best colored comic strip to come along since Calvin and Hobbes. Just thought I’d toss that in there.

Breezy: “Oh poor Rip. I’ll marry him and help him pay his alimony.”

Huggy is good!

Um, don’t you mean TNT is the coward?

My prediction: around midnight tonight (Saturday at the latest) Rip is going to discover how Cobra and Breezy are cat-fighting about him. When he does, he’s going to ditch them BOTH as too complicated for a man of action.-You read it here first.

Or maybe the ditzy blond from “Last Kiss” will stumble into this strip, and cause Rip to slobber. That works too.-You read it here second.

If compassion is our weakness Cobra Queen has used it.

I mean her weakness.
