Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for May 31, 2012

I knew we’d get back to the chicken joke

“C’mon and shake your tail feathers, tail feathers…” Sorry, I had a Blues Brothers moment.

Little known fact: “Buck Bukaw” was the original working title for Rip Haywire.

If this strip is turned into a cartoon, I have the perfect choice for Cobra: Grey DeLisle. She has the right mix to portray Cobra properly…and wouldn’t mind clucking like a chicken.

Little known fact: clucking like a chicken is good therapy. That’s because people leave you alone, and that’s a good thing.

On the bright side, a Kardashian marriage lasts longer than a certain Brittney Spears marriage.

And I still say Rip doesn’t need hypnotism for that – remember Cobra’s words to him a few strips ago? “If you come any closer, I’LL be your dangerous situation!”

Cobra, a chicken? I won’t believe it! On the other hand, with a growing family, the gang at the Haywire Hacienda could probably really use the eggs! :-)

Nice meeting you, Dan, at the Reubens. Nice drawing. When you get a chance check out Circus People and Dumb Question/ Bad Answer on Sherpa. Thanks for drawing something for my son in his book.
