Tuesday Blahfternoon

SoSFDavidO here, filling in for folks far funnier than I for the next two weeks!

From the looks of Today’s Strip we’re in for Dinkle Week here at Westview. Given how he’s at least 20 years older than most of the gang we’re used to hanging out with he’s not faring too badly at all. At least his face isn’t sliding off like Skunkhead’s was in last week’s strip.

For those a little newer to this strip, the biography of Claude Barlow is something Dinkle has been working for, oh say, thirty years give or take a few. It’s usually the chance to slip in a few genuine moments of humor with some bad music puns, harkening back to an earlier time when FW strips were funny enough to cut out and tack to the band room’s bulletin board.

End Of The Weak

Oh God, not again. Les is taking center stage again, babbling to a confused group of strangers about anchors and who knows what else in today’s strip.

From the reaction of the crowd, they’re unsure whether to politely chuckle or cheer, as either reaction would be quite forced. Instead, they go with their gut feeling and just act natural, which is to say somewhere between confused at the metaphor and annoyed that this “I’m so wonderful, look at me.” Les-Fest is still going on.

For those of you truly inspired by today’s strip, you can order the quote as a poster-sized decal on Amazon for Only twelve dollars.
