Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 16, 2022

Rowdee is the son that Rip never had.

She’s almost like what you’d expect Hazy to be when she grows up.

Let’s hope this doesn’t spiral out of control and turn into a Hallmark movie.

As I said, Opposites attract!!!

Plot twist: Rowdee is Hazy from the future.

Rowdee is rather like a grown version of Baby Fireball.

Unfortunately, in real life, Christmas time seems to be a golden opportunity for scams, pick pockets, thefts from cars and homes. Just not necessarily the kind of action Rip, and, Rowdee are thinking of (and, Dan will supply.) Rip and Rowdee; sounds like an early 60’s Hanna Barbera cartoon show.

Careful RJ, she might be your half sister.

Wait, first panel shouldn’t it be “deputy Reynolds and deputy Haywire”?

Something tells me Deputy Rowdee may be too good to be true.

I hope she doesn’t turn out to be a villain…or the cliche “Girl Who Gets Killed.” That’s the WORST.

I agree – Deputy Rowdee is the perfect Rip deputy, therefore she is a plant from one or another of those bad guy agencies (who can keep track).

I’ve had egg nog on cereal in place of milk the day after Thanksgiving, heavily fortified nog as syrup on pancakes sounds good.

KA-HEAVILY FORTIFIED EGGNOG!

I know it’s been said before, but Rowdy is what Fireball would be like if she was grown up.
