If death itself was not enough to keep Lisa from continuing as a cast member in the Funkiverse, did you think mere retirement would deter Batiuk’s second favorite and probably best known character, Harry L. Dinkle? The World’s Greatest Erstwhile Band Director has cranked out three volumes of his autobiography to date, yet his Life and Times of Claude Barlow continues to be a work in progress, dating back to the days when Dinkle was never seen not wearing his peaked cap.

Today’s strip. A tip of the SoSF newsboy cap to longtime SoSF Staffer David O!

Weally Wonky
Like Willie Wonka? Get it– oh never mind..
My predictions for today’s strip came true, though my grandmother saw it coming from a mile away and she’s been dead for three decades.
My tenure here snarking is almost up. Thank heavens! We’ve all seen Les go through airport security 30 times, do we really have to watch Dinkle fumble his way through too?!
Letter Rip
SosfDavidO here, and let’s do this! Let’s use today’s strip kick off another improbable, as far-from-reality as possible comic arc involving Harry and some eccentric overseas chocolatier! What will it be? An invitation to spend a week in his haunted castle? A request Harry and his wife adopt his orphaned 3-year old great grandson? A certificate giving Harry 25% of the company? Who knows!
