I wonder if the cartoonist will ever SORAS (soap-opera rapid aging syndrome, works for comics, too) Baby Fireball into a teenager? Could be fun to have some story arcs for two Haywire kids. Btw, what is the relationship between this boy and Rip? Is Rip his dad? And if so, who is his mother? Was he already Rip’s sidekick as a boy at the beginning of the strip?
My recollection was that RJ was an orphan Rip and Cobra adopted. I sort of recall that he was the son of somebody in Skull (the strip’s equivalent of James Bond’s Spectre) The mother might actually be Dr. Payne (Rip’s mother) so she could be Rip’s brother/half brother.
Mind you, this was all before the Catpocalypse, which forced Rip into another reality which was inhabited by new versions of the familiar characters. RJ might actually be Rip’s biological son in this reality.
“The Urn of the Covenant of the Ghoul” would make ever day Hallowe’en with humans being the candy. Though ghouls eat the putrid dead they will kill to get their provender. Then wait till its edible. If they are anything like Lovecraft’s ghouls they are long lived and hard to kill much less out fight. And fists may not be enough coming up against the arcane powers. And I ask again who is behind it? How many other rare and dangerous arcane artifacts are being given to very bad people to use in their world? A BIG BAD behind it all.

He’s got the chin, but does he have the knuckles? Sorry, KA-NUCKLES.

Don’t force them, RJ. Just give them a good view of the bad guys and they should do the rest.

Confused? Welcome to the club.

Some things come with practice, RJ. The more bad guys you pummel, the funnier it will be for your knuckles.

I agree with TNT. A Halloween without candy? That’s just wrong!
