Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for March 28, 2023

What do you mean, Cobra? Is R.J. the son of a former thief…or the woman briefly known as Goldie?

Aha! I knew it! RJ is actually Rips clone grown by his grandmother! (I always thought he looked too much like Rip ( KA-CONSPIRACY!!))

No, you don’t.

Tank tucker. Is it a name? A device? Or maybe it’s a foldable tank?

I don’t know who Tank Tucker is, But Cobra’s still the hottest babe in the strip!

Ka-Huh???

I was kind of under the impression that RJ was Rip’s half brother.

Yeah, Cobra uses her words carefully. Especially when she wants something (someone.)

As a child he was held by his heel and dipped in a tank of potion?

“You’re Charlie Brown’s love child. And the shaved wasn’t a giveaway? Seriously?”

Besides the Tank Tucker folder, there’s a dagger, a rather large diamond…. And could it be? The Sword of Omens from the Thundercats? Just saying!

KA-TANK TUCKER!

Will it be revealed that RJ is actually a clone of Rip? We shall see.

KA-OH-OH!! Or as Scooby would say, KA-ROH-ROH!!

What if Rip is the clone, and RJ the real Haywire? Totally crazy idea, but that look in RJ’s eyes brought that into mind( if so, Skull de-aged Rip with a serum after cloning him-RJ did like Dr. Pain for a while).

a clone of Rip ?

So she carefully chose to uses a plural pronoun with a singular antecedent?

I would say… Sometimes he’s a tank… And then he’s tuckered out.

But I think he’s a human form of the 112mph v12 Tucker Tiger Tank, envisioned during WW2 but never built… At least that’s what They Say…
