Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 25, 2012

I’m really, Really, REALLY REALLY hoping this Development is just a Ploy to lull our Goon-DuJour into a False sense of Safety so Dutch can get the Drop on ’im.

Dutch bit the bullet? THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!

Can we post tomorrow’s strip today? Please?

Dutch sure knows how to ‘play’ dead.

The bad guys had better HOPE this is not true. Rip will go all Predator on them if it is.

Gotta say it again. THIS is what it must have been like when adventure strips ruled the funny pages.

Dutch probably knows that Buddhist monk suspended animation thing where he slows his heartbeat down to next to nothing…

Here’s hoping Dutch knows how to temporarily stop his heart… then again, if not, he would have wanted to die with his boots on.

“Just a vet”? Frankly, given the choice between putting my life in the hands of a veterinarian or the average EMT, I’d pick the vet almost every time. No offense intended toward EMTs, but do you know what’s involved in earning a DVM?

A rock-jawed hot vet!

I’m eager to read tomorrow’s strip! Dutch gone up to the Big Dike in the Sky?

@tsandlYou may be right about vets, but I find it a bit condescending when they scratch me behind my ears and tell me I’m a good boy.

Noooo! I shall stubbornly persist in thinking Dutch will be OK and that, like everyone else here, it’s all a ruse to get the drop on the bad mans! (If Dutch is having an out-of-body experience, he’d darn well better come back, or I’m gonna write a stern letter to somebody!)

SWEET MOLLY Mc INIGO MONTOYA! Hello his name is Rip Haywire, you killed his father, prepare to die!

I have to side with Rocketscienctist and go with his theory on this.Otherwise, my theory will be that when Rip learns of Dutch’s Dreadful Departure, he will react in such a way that will make a certain framed convict say something like “Sweet Molly McTemper-Tantrum!”Not even State Farm will cover that!

The Comments Today have really put a Smile on my Face…HUGPOUNCESZZZ!!! for all my Favourite Hooligans. (First time in a Few Days I’ve felt like Doing That…) Thanx y’all! BTW @ Uncle Bad : Could be Worse, They Coulda “Fixed” Ya!
