The Sunday strip continues the OMEA arc with an entry that is simultaneously dumb and inexplicable. Do attendees at the convention really appear in costume to enact lame puns?
Or has TomBa forgotten that Dunker and Becky are attending OMEA and not the Akron comic book convention.
Sorry, everyone! Had a busy weekend with family stuff and completely forgot. 😛 Either that or I just couldn’t be bothered to post anything about the strip anymore, it was a matter of time. Take your pick.
Funky Winkerbean made its debut on March 27, 1972. Click here for a countdown of days until the fiftieth anniversary and hopefully Tom Batiuk's retirement.
So it’s a band gag about how terrible band gags are, as if that really needed to be emphasized. Sigh.
You’ve herd of mansplaining? Batiuk does dorksplaining.

“Dinkle” (although autocorrect’s “Dunker” doesn’t seem out of place)
Tomorrow, the Cryptkeeper appears, holding a large brown blob over his head. “It’s the Claude Barlow Overturd!”
At least the bad joke in Winkerbean is easily understood. In Crankshaft, Ed was speaking fluent drunk man.
Can anyone here explain the “joke” in Crankshaft? Are fries connected to breadbasket somehow? My theory—-Crankshaft or Batiuk had a stroke.
According to the comments there and at Josh’s site, he was making a play on “franchise quarterback.” It is still not funny.

No comment was probably the most appropriate thing you could have done with what TomBa submitted.
I thought the blank post was your commentary on today’s strip.
It’s all it deserves, really.
