Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 05, 2021

“SNIFF. The safe’s empty you say? WAAAHHH!”

Is this a bit of retconning? I thought he was generally a boring straight arrow until getting cold feet under fire.

Watch her other hand, Rip.

Nice outfit, Cobra! Fit for a family newspaper!

Just anything to get hugged by Rip, eh, Brainzo?

It’s good to see Rip back to his steely-eyed squint.

It’s good to see Rip with his arm around Cobra…now don’t let go!

Ka-hug!

I feel sorry that Dicey lost her brother. But Rodeo was a yellow-bellied coward.

KA-CONSOLATION!

Man, Cobra looks cute in the third panel.

Nice hat, Dick. . . . I mean, Rip.

ka-eulogy

Crocodile tears?

And to think it was Cobra who helped him become sheriff. Rip was loving that job.

You know, I never did like the guy. Bugged out when things got rough.
