Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for February 15, 2021

Who ka-shot him? Cobra? Dicey?

Wow! This strip triggered memories I haven’t had in years!

Alien astronaut theorists suggest that some you know who sneaky shape-shifting mind meddling outer space alien is behind all this racket.

“Back in my day, there only was Ask Jeeves!”

He lies! There was also Alta Vista!

Heck, he looks over than me and there was no internet when I went to college.

So, what’s the answer to his bullet riddle?

We are running out of named characters in this town, and the villain usually has a name so my prime suspect is R.J. He had a sweet gig filling in for the sheriff until Rip got into town, and the murders got going after he was relieved of duty.

“I’m riddled with bullets.”

“Who shot you?”

“That’s the riddle.”

Good for you, Mr. Thompson, for saying led instead of lead. That drives me a bit cray-cray.

Was “Cha Cha” before or after “AskJeeves”?

OMG I remember that!

KA-ASKJEEVES!

So who shot Mr. Black? (Maybe the Bookie did it.)

I remember AskJeeves…the Internet’s version of Flip A Coin.

I liked Dogpile. It gave me results from several search engines at the same time.

Ah, yes… Good ol’ Jeeves. He looked rather charming in that butler uniform.

AskJeeves!! I have not thought about THAT for a long time.
