Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for June 14, 2023

Don’t kill him before you get the answers you want, Rip.

Oh, that feeling when you’re expecting a pizza and get a Ka-Boing-Yoing.

So DA Cane is behind this somehow. I suspect she lost a lot when Madame Silk took Starlight’s money. Or she has the hots for Rip Haywire.

I’ve heard of a headspring, but I had no idea it made noise.

Ka-ring-your-bell time!!!

Rip has solved the mystery of Dr. Zeal’s murder but now we need the why? Why did DA Cain and Dr. Zeal set up Breezy for murder?

That was a 5 star knockout, Rip !!

Looks like Dr. Lothario won’t be the only one leaving Starlight. But, gentleman that Rip is, he’ll leave the DA for Breezy. And, I have a feeling that she won’t be letting the DA go “gently” into the night. She’s been needing some action like that anyway. Cobra has been too busy with helping RJ, and, her latest boy toy, to bother her, and, Rip.

That forced entry seemed overzealous, even for Rip. Now some poor guy is going to have to cut plywood to size.

Talk about getting one’s bell rung! Rip, leave Dr. Zeal with enough consciousness to answer your questions.

Zeal got rejected and didn’t handle it well.

KA-BUSTED!

No pizza for that rotten quack. Instead, he gets a giggling knuckle sandwich with a side order of pain.

ka-smashy :D :D :D

So THAT is why the dead guy’s face was removed! BUM BUM BUM!

In Panel 1, shouldn’t that be KA-KNOCK KA-KNOCK?
