Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for May 14, 2024

Not the one you’re thinking of, Not Duke!

G.I. Joe? Well that’s a stretch…Armstrong.

See? See? Me tolds ya they was all clones yesterday itself. Me tolds ya. Me tolds ya.

Thanks, TNT! The clone scenario was much better than thinking the people’s we’ve known for so long were lying to us.

Love this comic and am grateful for the recap. I can’t believe I missed that the clones were Skull. It all makes so much more sense now :)

I, for one, continue to hold out hope that this will all be resolved by a sharp-chinned man in a giant rooster costume.

But I do Believe, that’s the real Cobra

Ka-Whew!!!

Despite the confusion, this clone arc is still better than the Spider Man Clone arc from the 1990s. That arc dragged on for like 2-years.

Isn’t a classic Ken doll worth more than a classic GI Joe?

Why, indeed? It’s Ka-nfusing!

TNT speaks for all of us in that first panel. But I’m very happy that the other shoe is finally dropping here.

But what about the sleep chamber? Was Rip really in it for long enough to grow that beard, or was that all part of a hallucination?

KA-CLONES!

Now the question is, where are the real Breezy and the real Dutch? Also could the real Breezy defeat the clone Breezy?

But does Cobra’s prisoner have Kung Fu grip? That’s how you tell the difference between GI Joe and Ken.

Ah, the old clone trick. I was/am an avid fan of the tv series “Archer”. They had some hilarious clone episodes. Rip Haywire loves his pancakes, while Sterling Archer loves his Glengoolie scotch. I would love to see Rip Haywire as a TV series.

So are Breezy, Dutch, Fireball, and the rest in suspended animation at a Skull facility, like Cobra was?

Let’s hope his survival instincts are functioning.

It’s a convoluted plot but TNT has figured it out. The “Make Rip Public Enemy #1” plot was to chase him away. Once that succeeded, the “Clone Rearranger” plot went into effect.
