Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for April 30, 2012

Next time, wear your steel-toed flipflops.

I hope that Popokitty & TNT live happily ever-after. Meaning that the cat gets to be part of this arc from now on:~) I have and have had some cool cats on our farm through the years, but I am mostly a dog person. We also like a good Yorkshire and nanny Nubian. Every billy born here goes into the pot. That doesn’t have anything to do with Rip Haywire and foxy Cobra being a real good comic couple, I just wanted to mention that.

If you like Rip, then you just gotta love a right uppercut! When I was a young man, I liked to use a left-jab then a right cross (one, two) with a twist to the left on contact. It worked for me as a pro-am. If the single strike doesn’t end the encounter, the uppercut leaves you too far inside to avoid a counterpunch or your opponent (during street combat) grabbing your clothing and taking things down to the ground. Some like taking things to the floor; I never did actually, like being on the ground, but some times it’s unavoidable.

ROLF that is so wrong, but so funny!

… weaponized fat …

Old Man got off easy. Imagine if Popokitty sat on his lap!

HugPounceszzz Haywire Hooligans!.Veridian and Dorian and Dragon, etc, heck all of ya…Nice to be back with you. Just got home from 6 days in the hospital (Im fine, no need to fuss) and came here dang near as soon as I got unloaded just to catch up with the goings on. The big city paper I got in the hospital actually carried Rip (no colorization) but there were a few days there I wasnt getting it due to my not being cognizant enough for the volunteer to bother leaving one, so I am all caught up now and raring for the next strip where we see the old geezer try to bowl and break down sobbing like a little girl. lol.Still chuckling at Popover’s attack of Feline Fury!!(sorry thats just how I think of da lil fat furry one)

I’m baaaaakkkk! :-) Veridian, thanks for caring, and Linda, I hope you’ll be feeling better soon, too! As for me, I was sidetracked by a combo plate of back-to-back deadlines and annoying illnesses (stupid baked goods claiming to be gluten-free when they WEREN’T! But I’m getting better!) Happily, it all ended on a high note with family time with our fave cousins! Now then, who here thinks Popokitty will be a permanent resident at the Haywire Hacienda, and will the various critters get along? :-) Happy May Day, y’all!
