Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for May 18, 2020

Hmm. Dutch’s information seems suspect. Intentional or bad intel?

Could it be that Breezy has an evil twin?

Ka-AHA!

How did Jenkins get into Rip’s horse barn? I would have thought Jenkins was a day’s flight away from Rip’s horse barn. If Jenkins is there, why is Dutch wasting time whispering to Rip instead of going into the horse barn to grab Jenkins?

I always thought Dutch could take care of himself. Is this yet another plot twist?

And since Rip and all of his followers just watched Breezy go upstairs to, presumably, their marital bed, just who is out in the horse barn with Jenkins?

Over the years I’ve lost track of Midnight. If he is out in the horse barn, what are his opinions regarding this evening’s activities? Something tells me that, if Dan T has not forgotten about Midnight, he could have a significant influence on this story line.

On the other hand, for a gal who not so long ago was furious that her hubby was not eager to be intimate with his incredibly hot wife, after another multiple months long separation from her hubby, Breezy seems to be pretty heedless whether or not Rip will join her up stairs.

I mean, her hubby is Rip Haywire. He just spent a week or more getting the stuffing knocked out of him by a monster no one has yet identified or explained. Rip is now limping home from the hospital. One would think that the Breezy in November who desperately wanted to preserve her marriage to Rip might have done something to mark the occasion?

I don’t know, bring out their child so the two could see each other after all this time? Fill up a bathtub with hot water and bath oils so she could sooth away Rip’s muscle aches? Maybe put on a slinky outfit to entice her husband upstairs and to bed?

Dutch seems to be in denial about the level of his intelligence, and I don’t mean spies. Just another guy who can’t be wrong.

Hmm, methinks Dutch is trying to lure Rip back into the spy game. By putting a wedge between him and his family.

It’s Midnight.

Ka-wig?

Ah, so it’s not Breezy but Lexy, her look-a-like cousin. You know, for the former co-head of the Alliance, Dutch easily fell for this. Lol!

I’m glad it’s looking like Breezy is innocent, BUT. . .she sure was casual about Rip’s mental health, there. “Oh, you’re having horrifically troubling thoughts? Well, don’t stay up too late.”

Lexy’s back?

KA-HORRIFICALLY TROUBLING THINGS!

I strongly suspect that’s actually Lexy Jenkins is talking to.

You know, I’m starting to think Breezy is the weirdo of the Easy family. Her only relatives we’ve seen (minus Baby Fireball) has been either a money hungry moron (Uncle Spur) or a dangerous vixen capable of murder (Lexy). And we’ve never actually met Breezy’s parents; her “mother” that appeared in the strip was actually a villain in disguise.

I knew Breezy was being KA-FRAMED!!! Perhaps it’s time Dutch did a background check on Breezy. You know, see if she has any relatives bearing a strong resemblance… things like that.

Maybe they should go find out who is in the barn with Jenkins…?

Just a suggestion.
