A few things on display this week:
- A bevy of “pissed-off Les” faces, which I must say are preferable to “mopey Les” and “smug Les” faces. Righteous indignation looks good on the Delicate Genius. Note the tension created by the angles of his receding hairline and eyebrows versus the upward arrow of his ‘stache and lipless, frowning mouth.
- Multiple examples of TB’s poor ability to draw natural-looking hands. Do Les’ sausage fingers denote generous physical endowment elsewhere? May explain how he keeps two wimmen hanging ’round (nothing else explains that).
- None, none of the characters in this strip look good when viewed from behind.
“OK, the Fun’s Over” should be the title of TB’s next collection of Funky Winkerbean strips. The fun’s been over in Westview for well over a decade.
