Main characters

There are three main characters: Rip Haywire, his cowardly collie TNT and his ex-girlfriend Cobra Carson.

In a later strip, they are joined by an orphan kid they dub R.J.

In an interview with Times-News, Dan Thompson described his characters as the following:

  • Rip Haywire is "a combination of classic action heroes such as James Bond, Indiana Jones and Jason Bourne."
  • Cobra Carson is "always out for herself ... She's like all the James Bond girls rolled into one."
  • TNT is "the opposite of Lassie."

    • Reception

    According to Madison Taylor, an editor of Times-News, the serial has detractors and fans among the paper readers. Some dislike serials, some desire more humor and less intrigue. Some like it because "it’s different than anything else" Times-News publishes and "it's also got an quirky sense of humor."
