It’s time for adventure! Join me and Dan Thompson of “Rip Haywire,” the hilarious throwback strip starring the mercenary adventurer Rip Haywire, his on-again-off-again double crossing sexy love interest Cobra, and his loyal yet somewhat courage-lacking collie, TNT. Dan’s got a great style and has just celebrated one year of syndication in papers. We talk “Indiana Jones,” “James Bond,” the history of adventure strips, and Dan’s route to getting into the papers. “Rip Haywire” is a great strip, and it was a pleasure to talk to it’s brilliant creator!

Totally agree with the Indiana Jones rating, Dan.
And you’re spot-on with “Temple of Doom,” Tom.
Finally listened to this one today — Great job as usual, Tom! It was really interesting hearing Dan describe some of the changes he made while developing the strip. Rip Haywire has been one of those rare new features that has been so solid from the start that it’s hard to imagine pony tails were ever involved.
His sheep may be lost, but I think Dan has found a real gem … Fortune and glory, Doll!!
