Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 17, 2019

Too late, Rip. It’s already awkward. She’s even embarrassed Baby Fireball.

Looks like the color proofs for Baby Fireball’s hair still need some re-proofing. Poor kid is going to get a complex if this keeps up – or worse, it might jeopardize her redhead super powers. On the other hand, I am really a big fan of RJ’s new design.

I see Fireball’s just as nervous as her dad. She truly is a Haywire!

Cobra, Breezy, and now Dicey. Those haywires sure know how to pick them. Makes me wonder just how Dicey things will get.

And which mystery would you R.J. Like to investigate first?

Rip; welcome to the world of parenting a young adult. If you’re embarrassed at RJ and, Dicey flirting with each other, imagine how Breezy would feel.

Goo!

At least there’s no talking dog involved in this mystery. Or is it because TNT is missing from this storyline.

I discovered a few things in today’s strip: 1. When your wife (?) owns the town, you are allowed to escape from the local jail without many repercussions; 2. The sheriff has a daughter (who didn’t see that coming); and, 3. either Rip or Breezy may be related to Lois Flagston (nee Bailey), because Baby Fireball is looking a lot like Trixie.

Is she really baby Fireball? She has had blond hair in quite a few panels hasn’t mentioned a goo and her age don’t seem to match that of R.J’s growth.

RJ has both Lexy and Dicey? Wow. KA-Harem!

KA-TOO LATE IT’S AWKWARD!!

KA-AWKWARD!

Ka-EYEROLL!

Oops. Rip, its too late.
