Technically Rip and company are in a floatplane, not a flying boat. A real flying boat has the bottom of the fuselage shaped like a boat hull. The main advantage is that the hull of a flying boat is larger than the floats and is more likely to remain upright when landed in rough water (like the open ocean) than a floatplane.

Odds of a comic strip character surviving anything: 99.9%.

Make a dead stick landing. That’s when you stick the landing and make sure blondie isn’t dead.

“Perhaps I didn’t think this through.”
Is Francesco Marciuliano (“Judge Parker” and “Sally Forth”) guest-writing today’s strip? ;o)

When did Rip learn to fly? I thought flying was TNT’s thing.
