Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for February 24, 2014
Transcript:
Newspaper Article: Bank Robbed, mayor broke! Woman: Mayor, Sheriff, thank goodness you're here. They stole everything in your personal vault, Sir. And John Glynn, the Manager, is missing! Spur: My Vault? I had my gold collection in there! Put out an apb on Glynn, while I unfriend that crumb bum on Facebook! TNT: Grumble. Let me guess: even though logic points to the bank manager, you think the drifter Dakota Stone did it. Rip Haywire: Driftes with beards always mean trouble, TNT! If you'd gone to cop school, you'd know that!

“Drifters with beards…” As in John Rambo walking into a sleepy little town in the Northwest, and scumbag local cop keeps on pushing until he makes him angry… I’d say Rip has good precedence to back up his assumption!

Toots!?Yeah, sure Dan, keep him in starlight, there seems to be enough bearded drifters coming through for a couple more story lines at least. But don’t write out Cobra… that threesome can have a lot of good play.As always, Enjoy!

Dan, I think Rip as sheriff works for a few stories. It’s been interesting and funny thus far. However, I think that Rip “The Chin” Haywire should eventually get back to traveling the globe..Also, I just can’t fathom why he is putting up with wearing that tie for so long!

Good stuff Dan! Love the stuff in panel one’s article ….“Everything about me is dangerous, Toots!”

I like the idea of Rip taking over as Sheriff. Still, Cobra’s in town and she might have a problem with that. No, come to think of it, that gives her an “in,” so maybe not…

Thanks for all your KA-thoughts on Rip … I’m glad we all think Rip as Sheriff has some possibilities! On with the show!

It is true that Stone is the person, but this is rather racist.
