Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 09, 2011

Oh my lord, it’s… Scrappy Doo!

… hey wait second … only one??

Hey Dr. Mel, if this turns into another “Scrappy-Doo”, I’m gonna officially boycott this strip!!

Well, Ya just Know R.J. was gonna ask fer a Puppy Eventually…..( BTW @ LordDogmore : NO! ) HUGPOUNCESZZZ for Team Bartilucci! Have Fun Y’all! :-)

DITO

It’s official…this strip is heading south!

Nah, there are lots of collies along the Amazon. It could be anybody’s.

Well this all happened rather quick didn’t it… he’s only been home a little while. and the whole Bliss adventure was a short period of time. they sure do grow em fast down there then…

I’m still trying to figure out how TNT answered the phone …

I hate animals in comics

We’re letting our fears blind us to the important ramifications of this event. That is: NAMING THE PUPPY! I’m submitting “Firecracker”.

Rip lost the girl but gained a dog. I’ve lost a few girls who were dogs.

Golly, they grow up so fast in comics! Anyway, I’m curious to see how TNT and the new li’l whelp get along. Besides, every kid wants a puppy, especially around holiday time! :-)

And as always, Happy Holiday HUGPOUNCESZZZ to our spunky pal Veridian and all our RIP HAYWIRE pals from Team Bartilucci H.Q. during this holiday season and beyond! :-)

Well, someone is definitely getting a puppy in time for Xmas..As for puppy names, let’s see…How about Nitro? Or perhaps Atom, especially when you consider how Rip is about to drop the bomb on TNT’s otherwise carefree lifestyle.

I lost a dog that was a girl.

TNT has no idea how deep in…(well, you know!) he really is.

I think Dan’s too genre-savvy to make this little guy a Scrappy clone.

But, seriously, just how long were Rip & TNT in the Amazon? The average canine gestation period is 9-weeks.

The next generation after TNT should be RDX.

OH TNT..SNAP! Bad dog..bad bad dog.
