Transcript:
Goon: We got what we came for! And just in time for the matinee of "Larry Crowne"! Rip: Hey, fellas, remember me? I'm the guy you tried to give drowning lessons to down by the river. Ka-pow! Goon: Yeah, what the - why ain't you dead?! Rip: Because, I'm Rip Haywire - I'm kinda relentless! TNT: He's unyielding! He house-trained me in 3 hours!

“He house trained me in three hours”? No wonder TNT has “issues”. (Actually I think he has a whole subscrption)

Oh, I see! Rip has his arm around the goon’s neck in Panel 1. That explains the bewildered look in their five-second moment of victory..ANd after what they’ve done to Cobra, this is definitely a KA-POW! moment. HUGPOUNCEZZZ to all us Haywire fans out there!

Huh? TNT wasn’t housebroken when Rip saved him from his abusive ex-owner? (That explains so much.) But no, I think TNT is fibbing to frighten the thugs; he’s so finicky that he probably has been housetraining Rip. “Rip, is that toilet seat and cover down?” “Rip, did you soak the blood stained polo shirts in cold water?” “Rip, Mt. Dew Code Red goes with beef.” Etc.

Veridian, HUGPOUNCEZZZ right back atcha, my friend! I for one am relieved that Rip didn’t drown; it would’ve taken all the joy out of the strip! :-)
