Chipper was born in 1945, which makes him 71. He was 22 when the first major push in Vietnam occurred in 1967, so the chronology is right on track. However, I don’t know if the strip covered his Vietnam duty or not.
The colorist here (who works for the site and not the strip) choose to give him brown hair. When Chipper has appeared in the Sundays (which are colored by the strip) he has gray hair. Chipper is in his early 70s. They just have his hair colored wrong in this story line on this site.
Yes I was around when Chipper served in Vietnam and like his Dad Skeezix in WW2 there was plenty of story line on his hitch there. Jim should have the baby he helped birth come to visit him all these years later grown up.

Seems a bit young for a Vietnam vet. He should be mid to late 60’s. Maybe he works out.

That would be funny if that “baby” now a man of 50 brings his whole family kit and caboodle to Chip’s house and asks to stay.
