I’m glad Rip lost the scarf… He’s no dandy.

It looked like an ascot to me.

It seems too narrow to be a bandana or kerchief, so I bet it’s a cravat. Whatever it is, it’s the standard dress for the wealthy or well dressed as they set to sea … in the 1920’s. For example, Thurston Howell III.

It’s a cowboy bandana ala the Duke or Roy Rogers (I am a big Western Movie,tv, and books fan and I add that flavor into the strip a lot if you haven’t noticed)—Soldiers of fortune types also used them for all types of things but mostly to tie off a bullet wound or two….OK the truth is Rip was a big fan of Mr. Furley in “Three is Company”

Me, I thought it was an ascot and a nod to Freddy from Scooby Do. Man, is Rip cool today!

Clutch Cargo the character was a great design with that big jaw …I’ve never seen more than 1 or 2 episodes of that show but I know the character…Also a lot of Roy Crane’s Buz Sawyer also Captain Easy, and Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy in Rip Haywire…My style is a cartoon melting pot of adventure styles.
