Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for March 02, 2015

Here’s that original strip:(11/26/2014)There are several things to note:•1: Rip never promised that he’d be there.•2: Breezy never insisted or demanded he’d be there. She only expressed a desire for his presence at the baby’s first ultrasound. •3: Breezy’s text message makes no mention of her previously expressed wish. It merely informs Rip of what’s going on. She doesn’t demand his presence. She doesn’t even ask that he be there. She just tells him what is happening and leaves it at that.•4: She closes with a simple, “love you.”

And on that gentle, unassuming note, Rip is forgoing an opportunity to wreck revenge in order to be with his wife when she goes in for the first ultrasound of their new baby.

And that, dear readers, is one reason why Rip and Breezy are perfect for each other.
