Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for June 01, 2023

When a hitting streak ends, it’s just time to start a new one.

Missed him by that much eh.

Only the Shadow knows!!!

Well, there goes the old self-confidence right down the drain. Maybe what he’s hearing now is the call of the mild.

I sense a phantom.

Maybe it’s a projected image, like the Bat-signal in Gotham City.

Time to reset the counter.

Rip has gone {0} days without missing a punch.

There is no joy in Mudville—mighty Ripsy has struck out.

Noooooo!

KA-MISSED!

Ended? Aw man, say it ain’t so.

I sense a mad doctor in the woods.
