Does someone with a name like “Funky” even warrant a nickname? And if so, wouldn’t it be something banal like Richard or Gene to balance out the stupidity that is his real name? And from the look of the Funkman’s face, he’s turning into another Crankshaft.

You gotta admit though, he’s workin’ that neckbrace!

It’s still bewildering to even the most astute of readers as to how much time is passing in these strips. Something that should take only minutes gets stretched into a week’s worth of fodder and yet from the sounds of what Holly’s saying, ol’ sourpuss has been home for some time now.
