Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for August 12, 2021

“You know what I call a perilous, deadly, situation? Thursday, that’s what!”

Ka-SCOFF! And do I hear a faint giggling?

Ha!!! Rip the All-Pro in deathtrap Rodeo’s!!!

Deathtrap rodeo… there’s two words I never thought I’d see together. Leave it to Rip.

Yippee-yo ka-kiyay!

I’d listen to him if I were you, Burt. Rip once escaped a car that went over a bridge into a freezing river. The 3 femme fatales Rip arrested for murder…not so much. Isn’t that right, Dan?

Well they haven’t changed the name of the strip to Rip Haywire, JR.-yet

“Deathtrap rodeo”….leave it to Rip Haywire to add new terms to one’s vocabulary. I’m definitely using that one.

It’s the old kill others immediately but take your sweet time and plan an over-elaborate plan of tying em up for them to die after sometime and then going away and give em a chance to escape in case it’s the main character trick. Did this guy graduate from Blofeld University of Villainy too?

That’s a “KA-SCOFF”

Looks like the dumb ex may be innocent afterall…

So, Burt’s the killer, apparently. But what’s his motive?

KA-DEATHTRAP RODEO!

Burt obviously does not know Rip very well.
