Blight Christmas

Wow, imagine how funny today’s reference to a Crankshaft Crossover that happened 11 years ago would be if anyone us could actually remember it! Today’s strip takes some pretty big assumptions in thinking anyone but the most obsessive compulsive Funky fans would have any idea of what John is talking about. From the sounds of it, it was epic though! Someone probably got tangled in the Christmas tree lights and dangled from the roof upside down, a cat probably knocked over a Christmas tree and Crankshaft probably gave some kid a piece of coal and reminded him that back in the depression they’d be THANKFUL for coal.

Funky Christmas

SoSfDavidO here, and it finally looks like something resembling a storyline is taking place! Sure, we’ll probably be treated to four day’s worth of MBA degree’d web-wonk Darrin on the roof with Funky setting up the ol’ reindeer display but at least we’ll get a sense that time is moving forward and not stuck in a standstill or moving backwards.

As today’s strip shows, Funky takes a lot of pride in being able to hang up $25’s worth of Wal-Mart decorations he bought back in February last year. It almost makes your shitty little greasepit look like a Parisian cafe!

Sunday Unfunnies

SoSfDavidO here, with another trip to Westview with our favorite student, Owen. Let’s see what he’s doing in today’s strip!

Eating! And from the sounds of it, lunch hasn’t changed much since I was in high school. Honestly, I’m not feeling overly snarky on today’s strip. It’s fairly amusing, paged well, and we don’t have too see Les or zoom out to another county to accommodate the word balloon. Why Owen is dressed like he’s in a meat locker and Cody is in a t-shirt is puzzling, but other than that, another one-shot throw-away slightly funny trip to Westview.
