Hello Snarkers! SoFsDavidO here, takin’ over for a very competent TFHackett. I can’t see what’s happening in in today’s strip but hopefully Owen is out of the goat costume and his spine is somewhat recovering.

Son of Stuck Funky 
“That’s a new low”? Okay, Batiuk’s just baiting us now.
Batiuk sure has issues with aging.
Ok, who replaced Funky with his dad?
Alzheimer’s. Har-de-har-de-har.
Way to follow up on the big Owen mascot/head injury/touchdown arc there, Batiuk. Was there really a crying need to run a “Funky is decrepit” arc right here and right now? Why? It’s so f*cking random and jarring.
And I’m supposed to believe that Funky is so out of it he doesn’t even realize he’s wearing pants? With car keys or a cell phone this gag might be believable (albeit stupid and dull), but his pants? A new low is right, his desperation to turn this fifty year old character into a doddering old man knows no bounds. He’s really been piling it on this year too, it’s relentless. Relentless, but never funny.
Funky doesn’t have to worry about finding his Montoni’s t-shirt. He never takes it off. Ewww!
It’s like he’s trying to bore his critics into leaving him alone.
Pro: It’s not Les.
Con: It’s incredibly dumb.
Holy cow, beckoningchasm was one hundred percent on the money! “An all-time low” indeed.
@ Paul Jones…. Exactly correct. That’s why you don’t see me around here much. This is just so incredibly dumb for a strip that claims to be groundbreaking reality based.
I know why Funky is suddenly superannuated. He was handling a large fragment of the black miasma of death (panel 1). His body must have absorbed all of it, because it is absent from the other two panels.
Not to worry, though: there’s another huge chunk of death stuck to the wall of the hotel room that Funky is living in.
Panel 3 brings us the perfect epigram for this oeuvre. Comics Kingdom ought to replace that absurd blurb about young people and their sensitive issues with just this:
But it won’t be the last one.
Pants, schmants. I want to know more about that shrubbery bed.
“That’s a new low” isn’t that TB’s forte?
I call BS on this. He may only own one t-shirt, but there is no way Funky owns just one pair of sweatpants. Even if he’s supposed to be on a trip and at a hotel for some reason, there is no way he packed only one pair of sweatpants.
“That’s a new low”, “Funky Winkerbean” aka “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.
@ JerrytheMacGuy There are a lot of memories in that t-shirt. And by “memories” I mean tomato and olive oil stains.
I’d love to have the job of dolly grip on the set of Funky Winkerbean. Kudos to the director on the high overhead camera angles these last few shows! It gives us a good Lisa’s-eye view of the action!
One of the joys of weight loss is that now you can see the pants you couldn’t see before.
The real life basis for Funky must have REALLY pissed off TomBat
Actually Funky owns more than one Montoni’s T-shirt. He’s got a box of 200 XXL’s that never sold.
