Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 21, 2020

Who knew last summer was the Fifteenth of December? (Wink, wink, wink, ka-winkity wink! That’s a joke, folks!)

I personally am thrilled to see Rip and his wife back on the same timeline and passionately embracing each other. Of course, the poor teen might need a pour or two of brandy to calm down and get back to sleep, but that’s a small price to pay.

Let’s hope this isn’t more Brainzo b\_/11zhitzo.

I’ve grown kind of fond of Brainzo, but as a side dish, not a main course. On the other hand, what’s to stop Brainzo from making life confusing for Cobra, or Breezy, or even, my favorite victim, Jenkins?

Of course riding the missile to save the world was last Tuesday. Death defying heroics are what Rip does every Tuesday.

…and they all live happily ever after…

…fists and all…

Fireball sure has grown since we last seen her. From the silhouette we see in panel one, looks like see takes after Breezy. Now let’s see her big brother, and, Cobra.

I’m guessing that might not be fireball at all? But maybe a visitor. Either that or Rip’s landed in an alternate universe (probably compliments of Cap’n Eddie);

Yes, Rip. The last three arcs have been…er, a little irritating. Welcome back, and just in time for the solstice.

Little help here…what is meant by an “arc”?

Hopefully this is the end of the Brainzo stuff.

That babysitter is gonna be traumatized…

The mistletoe at the Haywires’ house is made from real missile.

Anyone know the date of the missile ride.

That was some Missile ride…thru space and time!

KA-LAST TUESDAY!

Outstanding color work capturing the quintessential nature of the Haywire world.

All is well for the Haywire family. (For now.)

Breezy has amazing genes and looks amazing in jeans!

I’m guessing the girl is a relative of Breezy over for a visit. Or is RJ allowed to have girls stay overnight?

Hmmm. Maybe she’s the babysitter?
