Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 25, 2012
Transcript:
Goons: Bad news! The kid got away, and I've stained the heck out of my new snowsuit! It doesn't matter now. Haywire has less than 24 hours to free our boss - Cobra: Fawn, I'm glad you're here - Rip's father has been shot and he needs medical attention. Fawn: I'm just a vet, but I have watched a lot of "Doogie Howser"! Where is he? Goon: Look him over if you want, but we're probs just going to kill you all anyway. Otherwise our insurance will skyrocket! RJ: Fawn, will he be all right? Fawn: I can't find a pulse! He's dead, Cobra! Cobra: M-maybe he's just a napper. L-lots of old guys n-nap.

I’m really, Really, REALLY REALLY hoping this Development is just a Ploy to lull our Goon-DuJour into a False sense of Safety so Dutch can get the Drop on ’im.

The bad guys had better HOPE this is not true. Rip will go all Predator on them if it is.

Gotta say it again. THIS is what it must have been like when adventure strips ruled the funny pages.

Dutch probably knows that Buddhist monk suspended animation thing where he slows his heartbeat down to next to nothing…

Here’s hoping Dutch knows how to temporarily stop his heart… then again, if not, he would have wanted to die with his boots on.

“Just a vet”? Frankly, given the choice between putting my life in the hands of a veterinarian or the average EMT, I’d pick the vet almost every time. No offense intended toward EMTs, but do you know what’s involved in earning a DVM?

A rock-jawed hot vet!
I’m eager to read tomorrow’s strip! Dutch gone up to the Big Dike in the Sky?

@tsandlYou may be right about vets, but I find it a bit condescending when they scratch me behind my ears and tell me I’m a good boy.

Noooo! I shall stubbornly persist in thinking Dutch will be OK and that, like everyone else here, it’s all a ruse to get the drop on the bad mans! (If Dutch is having an out-of-body experience, he’d darn well better come back, or I’m gonna write a stern letter to somebody!)

SWEET MOLLY Mc INIGO MONTOYA! Hello his name is Rip Haywire, you killed his father, prepare to die!

I have to side with Rocketscienctist and go with his theory on this.Otherwise, my theory will be that when Rip learns of Dutch’s Dreadful Departure, he will react in such a way that will make a certain framed convict say something like “Sweet Molly McTemper-Tantrum!”Not even State Farm will cover that!
