Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for March 27, 2023

RJ origin story?

She has a point there.

Cobra, welcome back. And she’s still hot!

She’s not lying RJ, just ask Rip to show you some of the lumps on the back of his skull from Cobra.

Special? Like Special Ed?

If anyone knows the call of the wild, it’s Cobra!

Ka-Mystery!!!

Maybe Cobra & RJ can go on a mother-son adventure, like Dr. Pain and Rip…without the bazookas.

When did Cobra open a bar in Starlight? Is she serving him alcohol? And, shouldn’t RJ be calling her “Aunt” Cobra? She is his favorite “Aunt.”

Looks as if RJ had another run-in with a lawn mower.

I like the way Dan can give Cobra a softer look, like in the 2nd panel, then right back to Cobra in the 3rd panel.

This looks like the beginning of a good story!

“Corrine’s Place”? So no more doughnut shop for Cobra?

KA-SPECIAL!

Look like the start of an origin story. Can’t wait to read it. Nice to see Cobra again, by the way. (Even if that word isn’t in her vocabulary.)

If Cobra answered the call of the wild at birth, does that mean that it finally wore off now that she’s running a bar/cafe?

This whole arc is hilarious! Kudos to Dan. One wonder, though, if it is actually a dream sequence?

That Corrine “Cobra” Carson answered the Call of the Wild at birth is no surprise, she has been such since this strip began.

So, we’re finally going to give RJ a back story, eh? Will it confirm my theory about RJ being a SKULL science experiment?
