Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 28, 2022

“And little tiny doctor fists hurt a lot less than usual.”

There’s a tiny blood red speck in panel two, above “ME”.

I guess there’s something to be said about an emotional rock. Something like KA-SNIFF, or KA-SOB.

Well, usually, it’s bad guy fists, that pummel Rip…so I’m sure he doesn’t mind!

Yesterday she was imitating a dog. Today an owl. Doc Fern seems to be forgetting she’s a human being.

Remember the old saying, “Physician, heal thyself”.

KA-PUMMEL!

Rip’s been pummeled with far worse.

Her fists weren’t designed for ka-pummeling. They were designed for ka-healing.

Will Dr. Fern steal the Maguffin because she’s in love with Brix?
