As much as I appreciate the Hasbro tie-in with the Funkyverse, could they have made Mr. Potato Head less of an insensitive jerk in today’s strip?

Hoo-boy, SoSfDavidO here and I’m quaking with excitement! Big Cable saw the screenplay and thought it was killer! From the looks of today’s strip, there might be a change or two needed. Of course, this immediately veers into unbelievable land.
Lisa’s Story (the book) was a huge hit, right? Remember the book tours? The interviews? The fans lining up just to shake hands with the Amazing Les Moore? Why is the fact it was a huge hit a big deal? Think of it this way…
Hollywood: “Hey, Dan Brown, we just bought the rights to make “The DaVinci Code” into a movie! I mean, the book has been on the bestseller list for 3 years and everyone loves it…we just want to make one change..”
Dan Brown: “What’s that?”
“Hollywood: “The title is kinda bland. Needs some punch. How about “Murders and Medieval Art?”
Dan Brown: “Well, I’m sure that won’t confuse book fans. Let’s do it!”
Cat-Astrophe
Pushed so hard? Is there some other comic strip Les is starring in that I’m not aware of that’s being referenced to in today’s strip? For the past three years he’s sat down at his computer a handful of times and bitched about no one understanding his genius but done very little actual writing. From his MS Word’s point of view Les has been in and out of a coma for the last couple of years.
3 years = 1095 days
1 page of script = 1 minute of screen time. (old rule of thumb)
With that in mind, Les was hunting and pecking out a paragraph a day, if that. Some inspiration Saint Lisa was!
The cat should have walked across the keyboard. It would have probably had better results.
Grumpy Cat
It looks like the amazing talking cat is going to be here all week, folks, along with your’s truly, SosfDavidO. And, as I’d like to point out, it’s not so much what the cat says in today’s strip as it is the cat can talk at all!
Les’s face in Panel 3 is good for a chuckle, because, hey, a talking cat is coming on to you!
Hollywood Stalling
SoSfdavidO here, bringing you snarks for the next couple weeks! Who is up for some more wacky hijinks with Funky & the Gang? I know I am!
Oh, great, the damn talking cat is back in today’s strip! The problem is, the cat is looking less ethereal and more like an actual clawing, pooping cat. Any reader new to Funky Winkerbean and casually dropping in (God help them) would just assume this is a strip that features talking animals.
Don’t we have enough of that with Mark Trail?
