Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for September 24, 2013
Transcript:
Voice: The lady wins again. Breezy: Rip, a storm blew up. It's worse than Ben fleck as Batman! Rip Haywire: Hey, he can't be any worse than Clooney! Voice: The lady wins again. She's making it look easy! Cobra Carson: Well, it's like my pappy always said, "Hard work never hurt anyone- who didn't do it. Man: Did your pappy really say that? Cobra Carson: Butt out, Rockford.

My high school girlfriend played the blind psychiatrist Rockford fell in love with on The Rockford Files. I asked her what it was like to meet him; she said when she was introduced to him, she gushed, “You’re MAVERICK!” She said she really loved working with him.

Please use Adam West as Commissioner Gordon. He has done many fine voice overs and done penance for his sins for the 60’s series. Besides he is a real life hero having foiled a robbery or purse snatching.

Dan, you are truly a master of Baby Boomer trivia and the ironic! Might I suggest that you insert some reference to the Green Hornet, a feat that you will perform skillfully I am sure.

Ummm…Anyone notice the direction of the gaze of the guy in panel 1?I think the “distractions” are why cobra is winning.

Where did Cobra get that necklace in the last panel? Did she lift it from someone? I doubt it belonged to Rockford…
