Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 26, 2024

There’s some real cold cash with him.

Maybe this will be like the 1962 DICK TRACY story where a farm wife found a windfall of loot (previously belonging to a villain with all his hair on the FRONT of his head, who employed typing monkeys), and pretended it was “egg money”…

Where did Harry’s glasses go in panel 4?

Ah, frozen but not forgotten!

Frosty-man got your tongue Harry???

Well I’d wondered what happened to Astor. Wonder if he burned the money?

“What’s it gonna be boy, yes or no?” “Let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it”. The last panel made me lmao and put “Paradise By The Dashboard Lights” in my head.

That Harry is really sharp!

…is calling a female corpse ‘handsome’ body shaming?…

Look, there’s a whole whoppin’ load of money! Let’s carefully dig that out,and you can have that Barbie’s First Dream Wedding you’ve been hinting at for the last six months!

I get the impression Henry isn’t as interested in getting married as she is, so he employs the “Quick! Change the topic!” method to avoid answering.

KA-LAYERING!

How about that, an Astorsicle.

When Harry dissed Sally

What some guys will do to keep from talking about commitments.

I wonder if Astor is really dead, or is he merely in “suspended animation,” and will awaken once he’s “thawed out”? Sort of like cryogenics?

Yeah, Harry. Geez.

That is not a yes or no question. It is a test of a guy’s ability to change the subject subtly.
