Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for June 19, 2024

Boooo! Bad plan, Haywire!

In the early days of microprocessors, somewhere around the time of the 8086 being designed, an undedicated code to one of the MPU chips caused an internal loop that overheated and ignited the chip…care to bet on what the memory eraser is likely to do when up against the Ripster?

Ka-nooooooooooooo!!!

I do not approve!

Are we in some kind of time loop? Rip’s memory was erased in April when Skull tried to turn him evil which led us up to…this?

Clearly, it’s time for our man Dan to take a long break and maybe visit a creative writing clinic. What we have now is a K-reset variation 1371, the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy the story is skyrocketting. Missing the old witty stories.

Could this series be erased from my mind?

Good luck with that. His haywireness is written in indelible ink.

Next week: It’s 45 yer-old Chalie Brown!

Ka-hum-drum. :)

But, but Rip…this procedure isn’t covered by you present HMO!

KA-DESTRUCTIVE KIND OF GUY!

No, not that! The world needs Rip Haywire. Besides, I highly doubt erasing his memory will do away with his destructive tendencies.

Eternal Sunshine of the KA-Spotless Mind

You know, for parties.

I’m not sure why so many people freak out every time they don’t like one strip. It’s very uncool to insult the creator. This is just another crazy twist or turn in the world of Haywire. I intend to sit back and enjoy the Kaadveture!❤️

So will Rip Haywire, the comic-adventure strip still be fun if Rip isn’t Rip anymore? Stay tuned, Kids!

This whole mess has now come full circle.

More likely memory buster becomes haywire.

“I am a really destructive kind of guy.”

Come now, Rip… You make it sound like a bad thing.
