    Iā€™m kinda surprised Rip was able to anticipate that ā€” he doesnā€™t strike me as the kind of guy with the slightest smidgen of understanding of the Fairer Sex.

    itā€™s a fact that girls in their prime, get that feeling, being around pregnant women and babiesā€¦ something about pheromonesā€¦ some cultures send the young girls off to live with pregnant women to set off their baby making modeā€¦.

    Do you guys think the most dangerous couple in the comics should have a baby? Iā€™ve always heard that once a hero gets married, itā€™s jumped the shark! Thoughts?

    Thatā€™s a great idea, Minkymoo! TNT should have puppies!

    Getting married and having kids are both optional, and do not have to happen in that order. As for jumping sharks, boring. Jumping flaming shark while wearing a C4 vest, better, but still needs something.

    Dear Dan ~ RE: Should They/Shouldnā€™t They: A few Words for your Considerationā€¦ā€¦ ā€œMoonlightingā€ , "Cheersā€™ ā€œHouseā€, ā€œFriendsā€ any of the Relationships on ā€œERā€ ā€œBuffy/Angelā€ and Even ā€œRemington Steeleā€. While I realize I just Dated myself with those references, the Point is This: Did we WANT them to? ~YES! Was it as much Fun after they Actually Did? Not So Much. Rip shouldnā€™t be Jumping Sharks, He should be Blowinā€™ ā€˜em Up with the aforementioned C-4 Life Vest. A new litter of TNT~esque Puppies? THAT could be Funā€¦..Speakinā€™ Oā€™ Fun, Go Have some Yā€™all HUGPOUNCEZZZZ anā€™ Iā€™m OUTTA Here! :-)

    Dan Thompson: Yes! If its in the cards let Cobra Carson become Cobra ? Haywire. The whole thing could take on a ā€˜Jonny Questā€™ kinda vibe. I LOVED JQ.

    With all the timing devices Cobraā€™s affixed to bombs in her day, itā€™s no surprise her own biological clock would go off eventually

    While itā€™s true Blondie & Dagwood got married to change the focus of the strip (just like Beetle Bailey joined the Army to change the nature of his stories) they did it quickly, after three years. Most comic couples wait a while. Prince Valiant & Queen Aleta, 9 years. Dick Tracy & Tess Trueheart, 18 years. Steve Canyon & Summer Smith Olson, 21 years.Iā€™m not saying Iā€™m against it, I just think there are lots of fun ā€˜single Ripā€™ stories to tell before you change such a pivotal aspect of the strip. But if you do, Iā€™m sure itā€™ll be a fun roller coaster ride! (Hey, shouldnā€™t Rip meet the prospective in-laws first?)
