Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for February 03, 2025

My God. Has it really been that long since last I dropped in on Rip and his misadventures? I kept winding the calendar back but it gave up in December, 2009.

The last thing I remember was profusely apologizing to DanT for admittedly over the top remarks I made about a Brainzo plot line.

Again, DanT, I apologize. Perhaps you have forgotten the mean things I typed, but I have not. Some things we are doomed to carry about for the rest of our lives. Isn’t it ironic that the ugliest parts of our history are the ones we can’t forget?

On a more cheerful note, I am glad to see the strip prospering and may I wish you all the best going forward! Myself, I now am a provider of “Dad” jokes. I’m not saying they are “good” jokes, but merely “Dad” jokes. Still, I consider the day a win if I have made one stranger smile.

Why do ducks have tail feathers?

So people can’t see their butt quacks!

For those who think Rip’s interviews are too extreme? Please refer to the usual cases in Starlight.

His question seems very legit, despite the Batman tone.

Some of the best cops are former criminals. Give Cobra a call…

You have to be Ka-Tough, rough and ready to work for Rip!!!

No me would rather chews the ropes off see. Now gimme that job. For me smarter than yours average deputy see.

Ka-coyote instinct required. :)

KA-NEXT!

Considering the sort of stuff that goes on in Starlight, I think that’s a very important question.

Only coyotes need apply.

ka-resume

KA-autosarcophagy!

Chewing the ropes off would be a better long term strategy.

If the redhead and PopoKitty show up they would be a good choice, to renew her job there.

Rip, you have to pick a couple. Just put their names in a hat and draw.
