Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 16, 2020

You can’t lie to a mind reader Rip.

If his subconscious is still in love with Cobra, that’s truly a nightmare.

So how much of it is illusion? All the way back to the plane crash?

Eh? Then what about the big blue alien who was jailed? That’s an illusion too?

And just what the alien astronaut theorists were always afraid of … Mind reading aliens!

The Catpocalypse of the mind.

This development is worse than “It’s all a dream.” It’s a holodeck!"

Well that’s a disturbing revelation. The Cobra part, not the cheesy illusion part.

Lukebacca and Han Falcon fly in the Organa Solo to defeat Evil Father and the Impire.

Why is the alien trying to look like the person Rip loves the most? The alien can’t have a romantic interest in Rip. Perhaps the alien is trying to coax Rip into letting Betsy/Space Cobra come along as co-pilot while they steal a space ship to return to Earth? The space-con artist would have a good time on Earth.

I always suspected that Cobra was his true love…Don’t we all miss those backstabbing with love days?

Ka-HOLODECK!

Yes, Space Cobra nailed it. Now nail Space Cobra – and don’t look in the mirror.

As a proud member of Team Breezy, today’s strip is a disturbing development. Granted, the way Breezy dumped Rip for Jenkins was more disturbing….

So… who else had to look up the Star Trek pilot to get this?

Cobra was his sugar bullet. “Mom” to Rip Jr.

Ohhh…So THAT’S the way it is, Rip….Breezy knows; hence Jenkinns “filled In”! Rip, you dawg…

So the default setting for the alien brain is a grid? That seems weird. :-)

KA-ILLUSION!

While I really do like Cobra, I prefer to think of Breezy as Rip’s love interest. I’d much rather see Cobra with Sheriff Utah.

I’m still rooting for Breezy! Team Breezy all the way!

“Cat’s Paw” also comes to mind.

A-HA! I have nothing against Breezy, but to me Cobra has always been Rip’s soulmate.

the plot thickens

Cobra cobra cobra…
