Hello Snarkers! SoFsDavidO here, takin’ over for a very competent TFHackett as we get up-to-date with Westview’s senior student, Owen Muffinhead and his goat-based shenanigans in today’s strip.
I know this is a comic strip but there has to be a way of conveying *some* motion here, otherwise I fail to see why they couldn’t have just stuffed the goat costume with straw and propped it up.
Oh, Happy nightmares!
Oh, Stephen King! “The Shining” did for bad
animal costumes what “It” did for clowns.

So, after a week of “the football players are losers,” we get a week of “Owen is a loser.” Way to keep your finger on the pulse of a young generation, Batiuk.
I’d watch the hell out of a Funky Winkerbean-themed version of The Shining. “All work and no play make Les just as dull as always.”
Geez DavidO…LOL! Warn me before you’re gonna do that!
I can’t help but wonder about the guy who regularly wears the mascot suit. Based on how Owen’s carrying on, I’m assuming that he’s the school pariah, a complete sad-sack with absolutely no redeeming characteristics at all. Except for school spirit, that is.
Classic “Funky”. Nothing like making one of your characters walk around looking like talking taxidermy!
@Epicus – the school pariah, a complete sad-sack with absolutely no redeeming characteristics at all
Given this cast…that’s literally unimaginable. I honestly cannot think of a worse student character than Chullo.
He should be thanking his lucky starts he’s got something on his head that isn’t that stupid chullo for once.
I don’t know, I think Owen is selling himself short. If he ever gets lucky enough to get invited to a high school party, I’m sure he will find himself right next to a cheerleader.
She will be asleep in a bed, or passed out from the mickey he slipped her…but hey, close is close…right?
I’m assuming this game is being played next to a hillside covered in prickly pear cacti, because there is no way a full grandstand of fans are at a Westview High football game.
Hail Shub-Niggurath! Goat with a Thousand Young!
BC: Whoever Mascot Kid is, he (or she, as the case may be) is at the absolute bottom of the WHS pecking order…yet he/she is bursting with WHS pride. Is it a desperate cry for attention? A pitiful call for help? What would compel this student to don the costume of shame every week? Whoever Mascot Kid is, they’re already more interesting than Owen and we don’t know anything about him or her. That speaks volumes about the Owen character, does it not?
