Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for March 21, 2024

Ka-punch!

I just hate non answers! Ka-punch, yes!

So how much time has passed here? And was this government approved?

I think that’s bad for him.

It clobbering time now and you ain’t no pal.

Something is very wrong here….and Rip needs a shave!!!

I’m trusting Dan to not do another PoPo Kitty reset. At least it’s not the alien still messing with Rip’s head.

I feel a retcon coming.

Did I like pancakes??

Dan, did you have bearded Rip look like one of his past opponents? (minus the weird nose…)

So this would be Rip Van Winkle?

Isn’t that Jenkins??

I get it, Rip. I feel like that most mornings.

Ennh,,, I’m flipping back for another look at Rowdee.

Could this bring Rip back to the time he crashed landed a rocket?

Good thing they’re not friends. Rip has found that punching friends just isn’t as much fun.

How long has Rip been there? and how much of this storyline was not real? Is the marriage of Rip and Breezy and the existence of Fireball real? And what of Rip Jr,/Tank Tucker? STAY TUNED KIDS!

KA-SURVIVED!

Cue the giggling knuckles. I like how it’s hinted at that this may or may not actually be happening. Either way, that mad scientist is going down.

Are they trying to clone Rip, again?

Are we going to go meta here? The layers of Rip’s various realities all collapsed and hit him on the head. He’s been dreaming since 1975.

“Then I won’t feel so bad about punching your lights out”
