Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 01, 2015

KA-HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL RIPSCALLIONS AND HAYWIREHOOLGANS!

Perhaps some of you woke up to

Ka-Happy New Year!       (click above text for ecard)    

Mother-in-law does look hot. But is there already a father-in-law to complicate matters? I can’t remember if Breezy ever mentioned her father.

Several thoughts:

• Dan, congrats on drawing Breezy’s mother so well. She really looks like she could be Breezy’s mom without making her a cut-n-paste clone of her daughter.

• So Breezy is wearing slacks, and her mother is wearing a short skirt. Well, Breezy’s already has her man. :)

• Why is Rodeo Jones the sheriff over the suburb that Rip and Breezy were hiding out in? Starlight has suburbs?

• If Finkle and Breezy’s mother get married, Rip’s mom in law would be living directly across the street from him. Would Dan be so cruel to our hero? :)

Don’t know about other states but in Nebraska, a sheriff is county law enforcement, not city. He could cover several towns. Most of which would not actually have separate police force, too small to afford it.

Mom looks like she could be a linebacker; I hope that’s just the coat.

Rip would be soon leaving town with his C-4 in a backpack if Finkle was his in-law across the street…

Speaking of mothers-in-law, has Breezy met hers yet?

(01/09/2009)(It looks like she may have gotten her wish. :) )

Ugh, I can’t believe a class act like Breezy’s mom (appears to be so far) would even look at Finkle.

Dan, you amaze me so. I mean, who would’ve thought Rodeo understood anything about polar vortexes?…Speaking of Rodeo, he may choose the greater of two evils and let Rip go with a warning, just to have him suffer through this newfound romance up close.

And then there are these two strips:(06/11/2010)

Breezy’s married into quite the family. :)

HERE’S TO A HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! This should be good…

Same to you, Dan! By the way, I like your look for Breezy’s mom! :-D

Ha ha ha. Rip’s pouting.
