Don’t forget R.J. was a kid around 10 or 12 years old when he entered the strip in 2009… If everyone aged in this strip, R.j. would be about 24 or 26 years old I think. That picture in the upper-left corner was to push the kid’s book “Rip Haywire, Escape from Camp Cooties”. Except for that period of Rip Haywire, R.j., was growing old at a normal pace, right? Rip Haywire is a long, long storyline that I admit I forget a lot of the stuff I’ve created. I think this is a fun backstory for him, and answers the “where did he come from” aspect of his stories.
