Is it only because the Crazy Harry arc the past two weeks was so friggin’ awful? Or is today’s strip actually cute? Not just merely inoffensive, but kinda sweet? Enjoy. You know it’s not going to last.

Yeah, it is kind of cute…actually, in a kind of sitcom way, it’s pretty funny. TB: Here is the break your avatars keep requesting.
Yeah, I guess this is “sweet”. Except, am I the only one who notices that Holly is wearing a black gown that plunges down to her navel*? Seems like this might be a regular Funky Family Fatty Fetish. Hey, whatever, you know? Whatever floats your Goat, amirite! Woo!
*Possible coloring error. Whatever.
OK, that was kinda cute. Funky coulda looked a little less suicidal, though; he had frikkin’ donuts.
Also, TFH: Love the reference to one of my all-time favorite albums.
Holly: “Why did you choose the ones with grey icing?”
Funky: “It was the Grey Bakery o’ Grey Goods.”
Holly: “Oh.”
That house all from cheap pizza profits …….after hiring all those staffers?
“And twelve days prior to Doomsday, I will send you a sign, in the form of a joke where none hath been before. Then you will know that the Funkocalypse is nigh!!!”
I can’t remember the last FW joke that simply stood on its own as a joke without any knowledge of the characters or their back stories. The reader doesn’t need to know that Funky Winkerbean and his wife have been battling weight issues and health woes and blah blah blah. Today he’s just a fat guy with a bag of donuts and honestly it’s quite a refreshing little change of pace. Who knows, with a little luck maybe it’ll happen again someday.
The other four – The ones he ate on the way home. And if that was Skunk Head John and Mopey Pete working at the bakery, that’s not creme in those donuts. So why is Flunky taking donuts to Crazy Harry’s wife? And since when is there a bakery in town? Oh wait, it’s behind Montoni’s, on the corner of Fatty and Lardass.
Holy crap…a stand-alone funny Funky…surely this is the sign of the coming of The Grand Finale…and with the end of the world so close at hand. But I can die happy now.
If 6 donuts is what Holly sees in the bag, it’s a safe bet Funky bought a dozen.

The Devil also made the docs switch Now-Dead Lisa’s X-rays, made Drunk-as-skunky Winkerbean drink, made Becky lose an arm, made Wally get shell shock, made Station Wagon Suzie kiss Les at school, and made Crayola say yes to Goatee Boy’s marriage proposal (“You’re not Lisa, my wife who died of cancer, who I spent many happy hours with at all these places, but IN THE MAIN, you’ll do for now.”).
Meaning, of course, the Devil is none other than The Dark Lord of Medina.
Wait, Westview has a ready-made food place besides Montoni’s? Who knew?
sourbelly –
I think she’s wearing a vest. Are they in of out of fashion, I have no idea.
I’m shocked, this is an actual, life-like interaction between a married couple.
Um, anyone else finding their posts on the NJ Comics Kingdom site disappearing? Looks like the Medina Mafia is putting some pressure on the keepers of that site.
Why do I get the feeling that either Mike or Molly…uh, either Funky or Holly is going to get diabetes.
For one thing, Cory appeared in a Sunday strip at an Army booth a few months ago. Shortly thereafter he joined in Army. Crazy was featured in a few Sunday strips shortly before he got fired.
And for another, this is the Batiukverse.
Forshadowing: your cue to quality literature. Unless you are reading FUNKY WINKERBEAN or CRANKSHAFT.
Yes, today’s strip is charming, in a co-dependent, enabling, death spiral kind of way. Next up, a re-enactment of the binge scene from Fatso.
Ugh, “Mike and Molly.” Can’t watch that show. Can’t even stand the promos for that show. Do you need an extra wide screen to watch those two fatasses? Not funny. Just gross. Spare me.
Another day in Westview
