Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for December 23, 2011
Transcript:
Cobra: Rip, I dated Linc just to make you jealous. It was childish. I love you - the truth is - I'm never going to find a man who knows how to make my heart explode along with the bad guys' heads. Is that a blood diamond? Are you telling me that our next mission is taking us to South Africa? Rip: Th-this is much more dangerous, and it came from Jared!

..I was thinking that it was Cobra whom should be zipping her jacket up(or down:-),but it looks like Rip’s the one with cold feet and they have struck his whole body..

There goes this strip. Everyone knows when the hero/heroine marries the mate, the adventure is over.

Dan is a good writer of adventure AND satire. This is going to give him much more material to work with. I think of Rip as a strange combination of Conservative and Liberal. He has both old fashioned values AND modern perspectives. This move suits his personality.
I suspect Cobra will string him along for a while just for the fun of watching him squirm. But she will say yes.
They fit together much better than Brangolina.

She won’t accept. Cobra is an independent woman. Looks like she is still growing, too!
LordDogmore almost 13 years ago

These last two panels are the funniest and sweetest I’ve seen in RIP HAYWIRE so far! And hey, I agree with the folks who say the strip will NOT jump the shark if they tie the knot! Did people get tired of Nick and Nora Charles in THE THIN MAN? Heck NO! If anything, if Our Man Thompson keeps being clever, I think we readers will find that, as Rip might say, family life is the most dangerest game! :-) (As a longtime happily married couple, hubby and I can vouch for this! :-))

Cobra and Rip HAVE had a serious relationship, at least since they all moved out to Big Whoop together. I think this is not only the next logical step, but will also keep Dan from having to draw Rib outside the covers. (Refering to May 5&6 this year. http://riphaywire.com/?p=1482 )Merry Christmas to all.

If they ever find the time between adventures to get married—I picture them as a married couple like Mr. Incredible & Elasti-Girl—NOT Daisy Mae & Lil Abner—because the biggest thing Cobra and Rip have in common is their love for danger. Peanut M&M’s being a very close second.

More dangerous than you can imagine, Rip.

Cobra Carson,Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to marry Rip Haywire and make him the luckiest man alive. Of course, if you still wish to check out the diamond mines of South Africa, it’s a good place as any for two adventurers to go on a honeymoon.

I like it! They will have svelte square-jawed children. who like to blow things up. Sounds perfect to me.
