Come on Dan, Please don’t make our hero out to be stupid. Make the Rip Haywire strip as popular as it could possibly be. He should make Mr Finkhead look stupid and ace this test, and then save that guys life … again. …
For that dork to even say flunksville & Haywire in the same sentence he should be castrated and forced to eat his left … a … a … a .. I need to let it go. I just do not want our soldier of fortune to look like a fool. tough guys can & should be smart too.
