Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for June 25, 2023

Later then the meanie wrote his memoires about this legendary battle down entitled: “Mein KA-mpf” what means something like “SOCK! it to me”, I guess

You must admire the bad guy. Doesn’t know when to quit.

I never noticed that Rip has two left hands. Whaaaat?

Having no Cobra for 3 weeks (so far) in strip is painful , especially with memories of that bathing suit she’s wearing

There’s physical pain, and existential pain. This idiot in the beanie with a pompom is going to learn about both of them.

Is his watch cap STAPLED on?

Ka-trading punches and insults. :)

ka-insult

KA-EXTREMELY PAINFUL!

This was the quintessential Rip Haywire story from the zenith of the strip

Van Coover learns the hard way not to mess with Rip.

There must be something wrong with the graphics on my computer. It deleted the KA- on each of the sound effects. Really, all I could see was SLAM, POP, SOCK, WHAM, and BIFF. Not a single KA in front of any of them. Must be something wrong with my KA resolution.

It’s a rare villain who can take more than two of Rip’s punches. And still hold up his end of the witty repartee.
