Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for April 01, 2024

Yeah Marla, you screwed up by throwing in with the round-chin guys.

Marital bonds? Rare to see in Skull minions. Also, his wife is about to be…Ka-Ripped into our hero’s sidekick(like Second on American Dad!). Wait, do these guys know that they might find themselves virtually gone when Rip wakes up(Has that been taught to these faux Skull agents)?

And Rip is good, by his chiney chin chin!!!

Stronger… started to sound like what happened to the Six Million Dollar Man.

I’m so lost in this story line but after years of reading Rip, I’ve learned to go with the flow (and the pancakes and the buxom gals).

“… it made him stronger, sharper-chinned!" So awesome Dan!

Rip somehow arrived in the land of the “Bad Guys”.

ka-chin

Nothing says “Punch me, Hard!” like a nice round chin.

Is this Rip’s origin story? He was created by Skull but somehow went straight?

KA-STRONGER!

What’s a sharp nose the nose of?

Not only are they toast, they’re also in a jam.

Wait. Isn’t this RJ’s origin?

But what was the source of his giggling fists?

Dan, just a guess, but is this an elaborate April Fools joke? Is the joke to make us think that everything Rip has experienced so far is fake, then at the end, have him wake up back on the mountain?
