Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for January 19, 2012
Transcript:
Man: Let me escape, and I'll save you - it's win-win! Rip: I can't break my rigid ethical code! It's stronger than my will to live and my lactose intolerance! Man: If it'll ease your mind - I was framed and sent to prison. Rip: Willows bend with the breeze - Haywires don't! Whoaa!! Man: A man like you shouldn't make a ka-splat-noised death. Rip: That's what I'm always sayin'!

Now THAT is one Tough Con! Look at panel 3….Unless Rip is standin’ on a Ledge (Possible) Wolfe is supporting his Entire Weight with ONE ARM ! A Scene from BladeRunner is dancing before my Eyes (The Theatre Release Version NOT the awful “Directors Cut”). Ok Hooligans HUGPOUNCESZZZ!!!, Handshakes, HiHow AreYa’s all around as I Surreptitiously Skedaddle Stage Left! Have Fun Y’all! :-)

I dunno about Rip being full of hot air. He’s pretty bombastic, that’s for sure, but he’s always able to back it up with action and results. That would be one of the tricky things to handle if Rip ever crosses over into TV or movies. He’s over the top but he’s usually the smartest and goodest guy in the room. Rip’s the one who in the end saves the day through his own toughness and brain power, Not dumb luck..

Favorite line of the day: “A man like you shouldn’t make a ka-splat-noised death.” Has Rip made a new ally? Have a great day and stay warm (especially if you live in the northeast, like Team Bartilucci), my fellow Haywire Hooligans, and Veridian, keep that antic alliteration coming! :-)

Looks like someone just earned himself another gift card.I’m starting to wonder who framed this guy… Herr Scorpion? Evil Grammy? Perhaps some evil mastermind newbie wanna-be?Stay tuned, fellow Haywire Hooligans! This could prove interesting.

Dont you love Rips expression in panel 2? What a face!! Yep, he was framed and Rip will figure out the who and what and it will all tie in to the family being grabbed etc….Team Bartilucci we exceeded our supposed high for the day…it was supposed to be 0…we made it all the way up to 1! – lol.Jmcx4, isnt Veridian a nice person? So is Dragoncat and Dorian Bartilucci and heck, for that matter, most of us. :-).Hugpounceszzz to all the Haywire Hooligans!

Not necessarily. My aunt (Mom’s sister) was lactose intolerant and I can assure you there is nothing Arabic in our blood.
