Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 14, 2011

Oooooooo..Kay! I’m with the Ripster on this one! Didn’t see that Particularly Pretzel-like Plot Point Coming. HUGPOUNCEZZZZZ and Pancakes for Dorian @ TBHQ and Have Fun Y’all! :-)

R.I.P. 2011

Looks like Dutch is about to get Ripped!!

Rip Haywire. Aman of action and a true man of words.

She’s gonna…. Then they’re gonna…. There’s been…. Dang, what are they up to?

I think that’s “R.I.P. Haywire.”

“Whatty the what whatting” – I’ve lovin’ it!

UH OH

anyone noticed that Rip’s pappy looks like Zack Mosley’s “Smilin’ Jack” ??

Veridian, your timing is spot-on, as I happen to be eating my famous homemade yummy and tender gluten-free pancakes for breakfast as I read this rip-roaring, rib-tickling revelation! I KNEW Cobra was on our side, albeit in her own self-serving way! :-) (Personally, I suspect Cobra had a difficult life before meeting Rip, hence her always looking out for herself.) What a relief - I was afraid Our Man Thompson was gonna switch out Cobra in the RIP HAYWIRE logo and holiday strips, and replace them with Bliss Benson! She may (or may not) be a sweet girl, but somehow I don’t see her settling easily into Rip’s life of danger and adventure. Also, note Dutch’s disdainful response to Rip’s “new friend”! :)

GAHH! I keep forgetting about that stupid em-dash that turns into a strikethrough! Just read between the lines, folks, literally! :-)
