Aw, check it out, a sight-gag! Much like a exploding vacuum cleaner or face full of chimney soot, at least this is a comic I understand. Today’s comic still has those rascals obsessing over Wedgeman’s ring. It’s unhealthy. And hopefully Wedgeman’s main squeeze finds a better way to support that massive chunk of metal or coach is going to have to come over to rehab her back.
Deep Impression
So the hang is rightfully concerned about being punched by Wedgeman, re-enforcing the “bullying is funny” theme Tombat has been running with for the last 40 years. However, given the amount of already-misshapen heads we’ve seen wandering the halls at Westview High I can’t help but to wonder if they’ve mostly all already been punched. Check out Cody’s noggin in today’s comic !
Its a Rang Thang
Today’s strip give us one last chance to catch up with this rag-tag group of Westview misfits before sailing off into the sunset, other than the obvious matter of the Comix Corner and Montoni’s being the only places of employment in town so they’re bound to end up there. Late in the game, Tombat’s introduced us to the twin sisters that could conceivably shoulder the responsibility of being the students FW focuses on for the next five to eight years.
Ring Dongs
Whoops! It looks like Tombat forgot the time-honored tradition of getting your class ring and is now having to shoehorn it in at the last minute in today’s strip. “Senior Class Ring”?! Is that a thing? I only remember getting one class ring and that was in 10th grade. That was 5 or 6 or 25 years ago, though, and times may have changed. Since I don’t sit in on high school classes “observing students” I’ll have to defer to our comic author’s expertise.
Dread Mill
Yes readers, Funky is still fat, sweaty and grossly incompetent. I wonder if he wrote all of these “Funky at the gym” strips all at once on some dreary November morn right after returning from the gym. There’s just too much continuity there with Fitness Girl, it’s just not like him.
