Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 17, 2021

Dutch in the clutch! Was this part of Rip’s plan all along? Batman RIP really set a high bar and this plot is just as good(now Rip, Grinch your mom’s Christmas!).

Knock, knock!

Who’s there?

Little Old Lady…

Little Old Lady who?

I didn’t know you could yodel!

(Did you know that knock-knock jokes probably originated in Prohibition-era speakeasy culture?)

Dad jokes are always best when accompanied by explosions.

This family reunion is Haywire

Must be flying something VTOL. I hope he landed one of those *BOOM*s on Mrs. Fake Front’s head.

Fridge horror, Rip has been sleeping with Ms. Fake Front for what was probably several months.

And while you’re AT it, pull my FINGER!

Will Dutch have a few “words” for his ex, about stealing their grandchild?

Did they get that jet from Benton Quest and Race Bannon?

This strip is just getting too weird….. but I can’t stop reading it….. must….. stop…. can’t….. stop…….

Don’t you mean “ka-knock-knock,” Dutch?

Mrs. Butterface is more like it…

KA-KNOCK-KNOCK!

Dutch to the rescue! Mrs. Fake Front is now Mrs. Blown to Smithereens.

talk about beauty challenged

All we need now is for RJ and Uncle Panama to be in the plane, and then (after the rescue, of course) the entire Haywire Family can be together for Christmas.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? De plane. De plane who? De plane, boss! De plane!
