The L Bomb

Last week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer ran a letter from longtime reader Michael F. Ward of Mayfield Heights, Ohio.

“I hope and pray that all of your cartoonists have gotten rid of their desires to push the sleaze envelope…we had ‘Funky Winkerbean’ creator Tom Batiuk portray his main characters, who are not married and are supposed to be role models at the high school where they are both employed, engaged in a cutesy little rainy-afternoon tryst…”

I expect Mr. Ward will be even more offended when he read’s today’s strip to discover that not only were these two not married (to each other),  they didn’t even exchange “I love you’s” first!
