Oh Noes! The concussive effect of R.J. exploding a stick of dynamite in an enclosed space has either:
a: Killed all the bystanders near the explosion.
Knocked unconscious all the bystanders near the explosion.
c. Deafened (hopefully temporarily) all the bystanders near the explosion.
d. Some combination of all of the above.
e. Left the monster free to roam among the chaos since everyone knows that in order to displace rock you have to bury explosives either within or behind the rock prior to detonating it.
It has been clear since the beginning of this strip that Dan Thompson is not attempting to replicate the philosophy of Stanley Ford when Stanley Ford was drawing Bash Branigan.
Still, a part of me hopes that Dan can spin off part of this strip just as Stanley Ford did in creating “the Branigans.”
Breezy is easily as foxy as Verna Lisi was, and Rip doesn’t even have to stage a fake murder.
After this apocalyptic encounter with a mysterious beast, I can easily see Breezy selling out her stake in Starlight, and setting off in a Winnebago with her, Rip, and baby FireBall for months long adventures.
I can see R.J. setting off on his own months long adventures.
I can even see side characters, such as Sopapilla or even Jenkins having their own adventures.
The only problem I see is who get’s custody of TNT?
I must clarify that no one could replicate the philosophy of Stanley Ford, not even Stanley Ford himself. After all, in the film, “How to Murder Your Wife,” Stanley Ford, while being the writer and artist of a nationally syndicated comic strip, “Bash Branigan,” is still able to afford a New York city town house, employ a personal valet, keep actors and actresses on the payroll and drive a two door convertible.
I feel safe in saying that Dan Thompson himself would laugh out loud at the idea of him having that type of affluence despite all the hard work he has put in over the years.

In the movie, the smoke would clear and two of them would be involved in a bit of romance. But this is real life, so no, it’s about pancakes.

And the Dragoncat Award for Best P.S. goes to … bytebot-gocomics!
That was quite the motivational speech.
