Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for April 18, 2024

Rip is going to have big problems now! Big Bad Babe Problems!

Pfffttttt! … Chuckle! …. Love that Pepsico comment!

Well, that answers the question of when Cobra got put into that sleep chamber.

There’s the Cobra we know and love.

On the other hand, if Rip and Cobra were put into the sleep chambers at about the same time, then Rip didn’t get married! It was just part of the illusion! (I surely hope that’s not true.)

Ka-pop indeed. :)

What?! Joe Piscopo killed Anya Taylor-Joy?

(rereads third panel more carefully)

Oh. Never mind! Whew!

According to an internet search, the rebranding was announced on February 9, 2021. If Cobra was aware of the change, she must have been put into deep freeze after that date.

LOL :)

Looks Like Rip and Cobra have been living in the Matrix and they just realized that the last 10 years are all AI generated!

Great euphemism Batman! How long has the clone Corrine been in this strip?! How long has Mister Thompson been planning this story arc?! Does the REAL Cobra Carson know anything about Rip Junior or Fireball-Hazy?! How will the real Cobra react to her niece?! So the Clone was rescued by Tank Tucker from torture, after she revealed to him his status as a genetically modified clone of Rip Senior, how will this all play out?! STAY TUNED KIDS!!!!!!!

It looks like it took a lot of time on Cobra panel two. It really works.

Wait until she meets Hazy. And how will Tank Tucker take the news?

KA-REAL!

Boy, is she mad! Gotta say, I kind of prefer Corrine (aka Clone Cobra) over the genuine article due to her having more character development. Still, it’s possible this could be the pre-Catapocalypse version of Cobra that teamed up with Rip and cared for RJ before Breezy first appeared. It will be interesting to see where this going. Of course, it’s also possible this could be just an illusion. For all we know, Rip could still be on Bloodcurdling Mountain.

If this was all happening in the mind of an autistic kid staring at a snow globe, I’m gonna stop reading this comic!

OH, THE B-YOU KNOW WHAT IS BACK!

Yep. Renewing an old acquaintance. Cobra is the only one who knows how to hit Rip correctly.

Man I hope he isnt married. Bring back Cobra
