Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 28, 2015

Breezy, you’re a sweet girl and all, but I would think it’s a bit hard to stress over having done something that no one in world, except Rip, remembers. Oh, and TNT. And that fortune teller who looks like the bride of Frankenpickle.

It is ok Breezy no one laughs as Garfield any more.

Does Rip remember life before the reboot? Breezy has now been told (but doesn’t remember) that she and Rip were married and she was pregnant, but does Rip? I assume he does, since (for some reason) he is able to remember the catpocalypse itself, and how it was triggered.-I realize I am in the minority here, but I liked the Mr. and Mrs. Haywire premise. It was like Nick and Nora Charles, except with less drinking and more punching.

I think RJ had a girlfriend too at this time of his life. he needs more than Its a Wonderful Life and TNT’s dog breath.

Dan, I’m particularly drawn to your comment “I rushed things and sent them down a path too fast….” I love the humor and originality of this strip, but there have been many, many times when it has jumped from one scene to another with nary a trace of transition. The most recent example would be the strips of December 2 and 3… didn’t something happen in between? Conversely, last month’s showdown with Mr. Woeful was perfectly executed and felt neither rushed nor overly drawn out. Can we please have more stories like that?

I love how this is developing. And particularly that Rip has both someone amazing keeping him sane in the “our house…two cats in the yard” sense (yet still right there on the Danger)… AND he’s Mr Ka-Pow at the same time.

It will be interesting to see if he can find a way to do things like teach R.J to drive (maybe that should be Breezy’s job… I’d hate to see the insurance bill :-D )

So… Does this mean we’ll actually SEE our crazy kids in love get married this time? The planning alone could be an adventure in itself.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Dan. Just promise no waking up in the shower and it was all a dream and I will be happy.

I want Cobra and Rip back together. She kind of got domesticated when RJ first entered the picture.

The real question is…How can anyone find Garfield funny in the first place?Heathcliff and Ten Cats rules!

Does anyone remember the last time anyone ever laughed at Garfield?

How can you ever laugh at Garfield at all?
