…I think that Westview sports, girl’s basketball and band at least, will be saved, though. Probably by the sale of the Starbucks Jones 1991 collector’s edition foil-hologram cover issue 175 printed with ink containing the blood of Harrison Schmitt.
Les’ startled reaction in panel 3 must be because he thought Funky said something about “hanging the creep“
I guess there was more than one rare, valuable comic book in that vault. TB has positioned Act III Les as the gifted author, caring parent, wise teacher and sensitive ladies’ man (even though the rest of us see Les as a smug, self-absorbed schmuck). Funky’s function in Act III is the workaholic/philanthropist. Since the last time jump, the Funkster has stepped up to:
- Rescue a stranded Les from NYC following Lisa’s death.
- Make good on the Lisa’s Legacy proceeds that were stolen (by his son).
- Sell a rare comic in order to pay the rent for his own commercial tenant, Dead Skunk Head John.
And now, when all appears lost for Westview’s high school sports programs, Funky once again descends from the rafters, checkbook in hand, to somehow save the day.
