Happy Sweet 16!!!

Son of Stuck Funky turns 16 years old this week!!! Celebrate with me that a child born when this shitposting haven started would now be legally allowed behind the wheel of a vehicle without adult supervision!!!

And what an auspicious start to our 16th year of nonsense. A brand new driver to take the wheel on posting duties and guide us through a scenic bus tour of Sadie Summers. Amazing, that this late in the game we’re still adding new crew to our roster. Narshe, we look forward to whatever you have in store for us.

Four years ago, when Funky Winkerbean was ending and Epicus and TFH were indicating they’d said pretty much everything they wanted to post about Batiuk’s silly universe, I had a big decision to make. I knew they’d let me truck on, but did I feel up to continuing?

I decided to keep the ball rolling, and I’m glad I did. You all have made it worthwhile, with your comments and engagement. New people keep finding this place. Old friends check in from time to time and make me smile. It is undoubtedly worth it.

But, let it be said, that I would have burnt out long ago if it weren’t for Banana Jr. 6000 stepping up to the plate and taking an equal, and sometimes outsized share of the workload. He’s the best. The bad cop to my good cop when it comes to prosecuting Batiuk. And taking the lead on some behind the scenes tech stuff I’m too analog brained to understand.

Thank you all for being here. And thank you all for the well wishes in the comments about my dad. He had a minor setback this week, a micro stroke which put him back in the hospital and made his projected road to recovery a bit longer. In some ways I’m back to where I was four years ago, with a big, long-running operation I have to keep rolling and decide what the future will bring.

But until all the grumpy old men in my life are ready to retire: Batiuk, Dad, Sorial Promise, I’ve decided I’m gonna keep it rolling, keep it Funky, keep it Cranky, and nitpick on!

Thanks for being here for the journey!

  1. CBH, you and BJ6K are doing a bang-up job, and we can’t allow you to stop now, not while Batty still has fifty years worth of Crankshaft in the can. And once they perfect the Batiuk AI engine, this strip could conceivably go on indefinitely. Indefinitely, as in “forever”. Sigh. But anyway, much thanks for keeping SoSF breathing.

  2. ComicBookHarriet,
    Thank you for the kind mention.
    But my expertise does not reside in nitpicking. Others do that so much better. They are so far ahead of me, if they nitpicked me, I would have to thank them. They are so superior.
    No my talents, such as they are, lie in being
    an emoji-er.
    See what I mean. 😍
    There’s more. 😍😍
    I do this for free? 😍
    Scary isn’t it! I have way too much time on my hands.
    Of course when I post this, it won’t look to be a pure diamond like ComicBookHarriet.
    As Anonymous Sparrow would say, ¡C’est La Vie!
    Be Ware of Eve Hill would translate it as, “Go for walkies, ya happy dog!” So I must be off!
    What an honor to be among you all: CBH, BJ6000, Narshe, Epicus Doomus, and especially the
    absolute best, TF Hackett, and everyone in the SOSF family!
    💝💚💖🫂🤩😍😎🌺💐🌹
