Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for March 25, 2024

“Woof woof woof. That’s my other dog imitation.”

Wake up, Rip, and punch their paper moon(there may be one in his hospital room)! Don’t forget your family.

There’s more to that introduction: “… caught in a landslide, no escape from reality …”

Cobra and Breezy both look hot here! It makes their feud over Rip more understandable!

Its all coming ka-back to Rip, giggle, giggle!!!

“But sometimes a fantasy (oh oh oh oh), Is all you need, oh oh oh”

Reality or illusion? Underneath that beard he still apparently has the Rip Haywire chin, so there’s that.

Hang in there, Rip. This too shall pass…

Is the gang of incompetents trying to reprogram Rip, so they can keep their cushy jobs?

He subsequently learned it was all true and that he was Charlie Brown grown up.

KA-DELIRIOUS!

Only a dream? Yeah, right! I think what rip’s experiencing now is actually a dream. At least he looks like himself now.

Mister Thompson has the right to run this strip as he pleases, but I really hope that the Gang were not just an illusion, first that Talosian creep, now a laboratory.

…no me despiertes, si duermo,

y si es verdad, no me duermas.

Mas, sea verdad o sueño,

obrar bien es lo que importa.

Si fuere verdad, por serlo;

si no, por ganar amigos

para cuando despertemos.

Either way, someone is playing with his head.
