Hey, the thing actually ended!
Poor Skyler. As evidenced in today’s strip, you’re never too young to be drug kicking and screaming into the Westview life of lowered expectations and disappointment.
Don’t worry, kid, as you get older, your face will elongate into a shovel-shape like your dad’s and you won’t look like a Peanut’s character so much. That is, if Batuik doesn’t decide to do a very special weeklong arc about SIDS, or, more likely, just completely write you out of the comic entirely.
Oh man. We’re still walking.
Walking, walking, walking, in today’s Strip
Lisa died of breast cancer, right? Why did the cancer walk get hijacked by Funky’s trick knee, gout, bursitis or Les’s.. um, never, mind, Les is aging apparently only by getting a cool stripe on the side of his head.
In any case, my take-away from all of this is Tombat fishing for accolades for realistically aging his characters, weird time jumps aside. Which is fine, if you want to call the strip Aging Boomers or something. But the idea this strip depicts contemporary issues affecting young adults in a thought-provoking and sensitive manner is now a meme unto itself here. It’s a joke. This strip is about the horrors of growing old in an inescapable town while surrounded by terrible people and situations.
C’mon, Funky, you’re barely moving in today’s strip! Faster, faster!
This weeklong walk certainly feels like a marathon. The problem is, being friends with Les means you’re guilted into going *every* single year, year after year after year. Like, it’s taken for granted Funky is going. What if Funky wanted to go to the Bahamas during the walk?
It reminds me of the “Death Piano.” in my house. It belonged to my grandmother, who passed it to my mother, who passed it to me. Has anyone ever played it for more than 5 minutes? More cats have used it as a sitting place than anyone has ever used it. But because it was grandmother’s, no one can get rid of it. Now it’s just a dust-collecting bench.
Walkers, stretch out those legs! SoSFDavidO here with an army of tacky pink-ribboned goodies to pass out during yet another Lisa’s Legacy Walk in today’s strip.
I must say, I’m feeling for the Funkster. Despite over three years now of jogging and a personal trainer, he hasn’t lost a pound!
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.
