Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 24, 2020

After all Rip went through during the past few months, he deserves this.

I love Rip’s expression in the third frame.

I also love seeing a happy family in the fourth frame.

Ka-NECK SNOW!!!

But unfortunately, this is not real but only an illusion created by an outer space alien while his real family is sitting alone in a dark corner and worrying about him. No fire in the fireplace, no Christmas tree, and presents. It’s only dark and gloom for them as they mourn the unknown fate of Rip Haywire.

What? No KA-EXPLOSIONS? Oh, that’s New Year’s!

Ka-jingle!

I really like panel one, with the lack of outlines, and just the color showing the shapes.

We’re doing Christmas in Alaska this year, so I can relate to the backgrounds in this strip. Please let this be real and not another illusory nightmare.

Love the Ka-Jingle!

KA-MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

After all he’s been through, it’s nice to see rip enjoying some time with his family.

Merry Ka-ristmas!

ka-sweet

MERRY XMAS, EVERYONE!!!

Oh, don’t be a poop! It’s Christmas. Merry Christmas Rip, Breezy, Baby Fireball, Dutch, TNT, Cobra, and yeah, even Jenkins. I’m happy that Rip is with his family.
