Breezy: How was your day, Rip? Rip Haywire: Awful. I had to take an entrance exam for the fire department. Breezy: Well, unless every answer was C and then A... yes, I flunked it. Narrator: Meanwhile... Man: Hey chief Finkle fainted! Man 2: What's that he's clutching in his hand? Man 3: Some candidate named Haywire got a perfect score on his test.

Other than plot, why couldn’t Spur give Rip the Sheriff’s job? He gave it that moron Rodeo Jones. I was hoping to see more of Deputy Montana….

Today’s strip is so dog gone cool. In panel 1 our hero smooches his sweetheart (which all guys should do every day)
I personally make it a point & good habit to tell green eyes that I love her and I kiss that pretty lil face everyday, and have done so for the past 36 years. Yes, and even in the tough times!
..In panel two …… well … we’ve talked about dat ….
In panel #3: Mr finkhead now understands that our soldier of fortune is not (as he had previously thought) stupid !!.Thanks Dan T. … you are the MAN!

Dan thank you for not making Rip look a tad backward. (I dislike the word “stupid”)Now bring on the fire and show Rip saving the ones who are grateful for his extra special skiils!

Most people react differently when someone aces an exam……Poor Finkle. He’s missing the Perry Mason marathon.
