What the hell?? The idea well is getting awfully dry when you need to resort to jokes that make no sense whatsoever. Does he mean he needs to stay on a treadmill all day to merely maintain his current astronomical weight and not gain more? That’s not funny. And if that’s not the joke, what is it supposed to be? And why does everyone wryly smirk every time Funky makes another one of his sad-sack loser remarks about his decrepitude? What is it about this man’s slow and brutal slog to the grave that these people find so damned amusing? I just hope this ponderous debacle is over and we move on, although with FW you gotta be careful about what you wish for, you know?
Son of Stuck Funky 
I think he means the only way he’ll reach his goal is by driving his body beyond exhaustion. Much like this premise.
When it comes to comic strips, if the “joke” isn’t immediately obvious within a second or two, it has failed. I hate it when FW forces me to stare at it for more than that second or two in an attempt to get what the damn joke is supposed to be. Just another way this comic strip goes out of its way to annoy and humiliate its handful of daily readers.
Why the devil didn’t Holly exercise with Funky? She could stand to lose some weight. And even if she didn’t, giving your husband moral support would be the decent thing to do. Maybe Holly is having an affair while Funky is exercising. Is anybody in Westview not a troll.
Be happy it in no way involves yesterday. Let’s just forget that ever happened.
So Funky has reached the plateau of his existence physically to go along with his failure pizza franchise, failed fatherhood, failed (1st) marriage, failed relationship with his Dad…. anyone seeing a pattern here?
This comic strip will be forgotten like last weeks Olympic curling scores
Funky is getting back in shape because he has heard Cindy is coming back to town. What, is it a coincidence that this week of strips runs the week after we found out Cindy is taking the Cleveland job?
Funky wants his youth back, when he could spend his days chugging beers and bedding the hot Cindy Summers.
