Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for April 23, 2013

Got a feeling this won’t end well for Cobra.

She doesn´t know that. Only cool guys don´t look at explosions …

You take the color scheme of the hat he wore in African Queen, and the design of the hat he wore in To Have And Have Not, that would be more like it.

HOW STUPID CAN COBRA BE?!? Anyone can figure out that is her ex-husband! She only needs to put two and two together to figure out that he survived the lion’s den!

Chicks…they just can’t get it right!!

Alright! Explosions, fist fights, damsel in distress, injured hero, corny jokes and sound effects, all in 4 panels! Great work Dan!

COOO-BRAAAAAAAAA!!!

Dan, I think the tiny star above Cobra’s head was a nice ka-touch.

Wait! Who’s the guy getting ka-punched in panel 3?

So Cobra gets a concussion and doesn’t remember any of this, right?

For some reason, the silhouettes in the last panel remind me of this very old Maxfield Parrish painting that my parents kept as a wall frame for years.

I like the ‘Clark Kent’ aspect of a simple eyepatch making a guy completely unrecognizable to someone they know!

Don’t change a thing, Dan. The wild, packed plot is all par for the course in the wily world of a man of adventure!

Aw heck, we know sooner or later Rip and Cobra will get together again, even if they might be in pieces! :-)
