You really would think it would be hard to miss.

Be interesting to know who put out the contract on Cheater Gunsmoke….Cheater must have REALLY ticked somebody off.

Back at the top of row 2. Very good!

Queue Born to Be Wild. Or I am Woman Hear me roar

Cruising down the streets at nightLooking for a car to biteRikki felt alive and full of joyHustling and bursting forth with prideWhile searching for a viable rideShe didn’t care if the driver was a girl or boyThe stars were all aligned in one accordWhen she was munching on a Lincoln or a FordThere was a twinkle in her eyes she couldn’t denyShe relished every second every beatAnd was grateful many never used their feetWhile she accepted she was hooked on “Crunch-a-Car” high.

The “Mystery Machine” (sounds familiar) is sure to have been spotted, or will be spotted soon, I’m sure. How could you miss it?

One happy girl on the way to the next on her list. It will be a very busy night for Rikki… and more entries for the death list

.Good morning guys!.Rikki appears to be loving her new vehicle. Who is next on her list?

.

Have you seen the 2017 model yet, Rikki?.

Since Rikki is a contractor, not a random killer, she must have a specific target or targets in mind. The questions are, whom, and will she cross paths with Lizz and Sam before she finds her intended? She looks pretty locked on target in panel 3….

You stole my thunder Jpuzz… I was gonna say that I can see a Scooby Doo Crossover coming! lol

Sam is still smoking a toothpick I see

There she is! <3

Not a mystery if you know Rikki…

“And I would’ve gotten away it, too…if it weren’t for those meddling kids cops!”

.

“Rut roh, Raggy!”

I guess the witness is left in charge until the new owners arrive – just like Slim and his look-alike were at the OTB sites where Cork and Fontaine, respectively, were killed by Jimmy Choo Shooz. Maybe all these guys form an underlings’ support group LOL

The hit was ordered by Chester Cheetah, who resents the confusion over names.

I don’t know what’s more scary… the sheer power of the vehicle, or Rikki’s calm, serene demeanor.

Rikki’s got the Tank Girl vibe…with Rowwer & Crunch et al

Am I now just noticing that Sam’s cigarette has become a toothpick?

I was thinking more “Real Wild Child” by Iggy Pop…

I wonder if Rikki got any of her parts from SAS Forks their SAS Scorpion definitely has the vampire “Bite” down.

Gweedo asked,Still feel safe with Rikki, crypt mate, Bill ?!?!-———————————————————————-.I am a bit concerned, Gweedo! Welcome back!
