Transcript:
A gigantic avalanche has left rip packed in ice like a black-market kidney! Rip: So glad I wore my electric underwear! What's this I'm pinned on top of? It looks like an iced-over river! The weight of the snow has broken the ice! I so wish I wasn't wearing my electric underwear! That was the longest time I ever held my breath! Well, except when I dated that girl in high school who loved pizza-flavored combos!

“…Packed in ice like a black-market kidney!” What a great line.

I feel like at times this plot rushes along too fast and it doesnt make sense, like the artist is trying to get from one predicament to another and uses an ‘easy out’ solution, but it just makes it seem too unreal, even for a comic strip.

Electric underwear?! They still make those?

No question that “Packed in ice like a black-market kidney!” has instantly become a comedy classic as far as I’m concerned! As for RIP HAYWIRE’s breakneck pace, keep in mind it’s a comedy-adventure, a sort of screwball comedy for adventure comic fans. Works for me! :-)

It’s better than Alley Oop’s pace, which takes about a week to get through a day.

Come on, Noonan! A hero trapped in a frozen wasteland? That’s Captain America, not Batman.
