Rip Haywire: I feel pretty and witty... hum... hum.. hummm. Tahiti Jones: Haywire, if Miss Carson means anything to you, surrender now and stop pummeling my men! Good goons are impossible to come by! Cobra Carson: Rip! Please. Rip Haywire: Sorry, Cobra. Tahiti Jones: Wow, that's harsh... is everything ok with you two? Cobra Jones: You did kind of hit us at a low point in our relationship. Man: She's not talking, Boss. And I made her listen to Britney Spears without auto-tune! We got bupkes. Meanwhile Rip Haywire: Dutch... Dutch Haywire: Yeh, Kid. Rip Haywire: Your distraction worked, I'm in Tahiti Jones' office. Dutch Haywire: Good! Get the list of skull operatives and bust Cobra out. Rip Haywire: I'm downloading the list now... Norton, would yah? Uh-ph... problem. Somebody's coming in with a gun... Dutch Haywire: Geez, kid, don't come to me with every tiny thing. You had me worried there! Li'l Rip Haywire: Escape from Camp Cooties available in Bookstores and online buy now! TNT: What're you reading, R.J? R.J: It's a journal of Rip's from when he was my age. It's called Li'l Rip Haywire Adventurers: Escape from Camp Cooties." TNT: I remember that adventure... woof! We had to spend the entire summer in all-girls camp! I never thought that crazy kid would make it out of that one alive. R.J: That does explain his habit of making macaroni craft bracelets when he's stressed.
Oh, for the days when Cobra was a sexy antihero. I hat what Dan has done to Cobra in the current Rip Haywire strip. He seems to have this misguided notion that if Cobra isn’t Rip’s girlfriend, she has to be completely evil. Cobra is such a strong character that she should have her own strip.
