Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 08, 2014

Well, what do you know? Rip HAS learned something from his years with Cobra!

Too late, Cobra. You haven’t trained your latest stooge well enough yet.

The facial expressions and dialogue in today’s strip are outstanding. Well done Mr. Thompson!

Cobra’s comment reminds me of a line from one of my favorite movies, “Army of Darkness” (also known as “Evil Dead III”). When the good guys quickly subdue a zombie, one of the no-names reaches tentatively towards it to see if it is dead. Ash, the hero, grabs the no-names hand and says, “It’s a trick. Get an axe.”

This whole extended sequence with the running dialogue between TNT and Rip has been terrific. Looking forward to the Christmas greeting from Rip and Family.

Wait… the only reason she makes out… that implies Rip has money???

great stuff!

Love today’s strip. It makes destroying Finkle’s car even more worthwhile.

Love FF’s “Well, no…”, as if to wonder if that’s really important information.

We question whether Cobra is capable of true love — especially with lots of gold on her mind…

It’s safe to say Cobra has a lot of love in her heart. Especially when it involves a lot of money, gold, diamonds…
