Son of Stuck Funky

Day 4 of The Great Dinkle Ohioana Disaster of ’24. After the unfortunate repeat of an incident with an errant brick and a computer, be ware of eve hill has been asked to stay home from work for the rest of week. Her stylist is optimistic that he will be able to hide the bald patches with some strategic combing. csroberto has been wearing out the capslock on his keyboard writing purgatorial fanfiction to get the bad feelings out. Sorial Promise is searching for just the right emoji to express his singular brand of jovial disgust. Banana Jr is fuming in the background preparing a screed of epic proportions. And, as always, Epicus is holding his hands in front of his eyes refusing to take a peek at the horrors beyond imagination masquerading as Crankshaft on GoComics.

Hey folks! I know it’s been forever since I posted here, but I couldn’t let SoSF’s 14th Anniversary go unremarked. Since picking up the torch from the original Stuck Funky, we’ve carried on as a fun and diverse community. It’s indeed heartening to see how this blog has managed to outlast its raison d’être. Though it’s certain that Tom Batiuk gets to enjoy the last laugh. He folded up his FW franchise, but moved the Funky cast to the Crankshaft universe. This he accomplished by spending weeks’ worth of FW strips undoing and “mopping up” all the incongruities between the two worlds, which had long been supposed to take place at least a decade apart.
