I thought this would be fun to share with Rip Haywire fans
I took the initiative to kind of explain Rip Haywire to new readersā¦following in the footsteps of the great adventure comics and created a Phantom-esque āfor those who came in lateā¦ā styled week of strips for new readers whose newspapers picked up Rip Haywireā¦No idea if they will ever use this but itās in the system and can be used. Ā Iām now also trying to focus on shorter stories if you can believe itā¦this strip is always under construction until it starts to work for me instead of me working for itā¦still the most fun iāve ever hadā¦(besides Brevity) But not an easy sell to newspaper editorsā¦but to the editors who take a chance on Rip Haywire I and the readers thank you!
Check āem out.

Girl Scouts + Rip Haywire =ās Comics?
by Dan Thompson onĀ May 14, 2013 atĀ 11:38 amLast month the editor for my local paper Ā Madison Taylor here in sunny NC threw a bunch of Girl Scouts of America (minus the cookies) on my drawing board! Ā The troop needed a cartooning badge and needed to know the steps to create a comic stripā¦I thought this was pretty cool and possibly an opportunity Ā to get me some free girl scout cookies. So, I drew up this step by step Ā with Rip Haywire as the guide.
Ah, I can picture a group of little girls all sitting around the table looking at this thinkingā¦.WTF?
Ā
Then I thought, maybe some cartoonist and readers might like it tooā¦so here it is

PS:
Still waiting on the cookies

Rip Haywire.com is back up and Happy New Year!
by Dan Thompson onĀ January 9, 2013 atĀ 5:47 pm2013 here we come!Ā Buy my books Iām broke! (but who isnāt)Ā Sorry for the delay on fixing the site I had to change hosts to run comicpress. The host I was with slowed the site to a halt. After of course I paid that host for the full yearā¦I had no choice but to move to anotherā¦
Hereās a picture of my books on my desk next to comics I love.
This is funnyā¦I play xbox360 and I created an avatar a while back of Rip Haywire for kicksā¦they really need to add a squinty eye to chooseā¦Iāve been trying to play Skyrim but I got an arrow to the knee. wah-wah-wahhh
Happy New Year, and I will try my best to write some exciting stories this year!

Best
Dan
