Just say it, Les: “…and they’re all here to see my little girl…um, our little girls!” Her betrothment to Les is already taking its toll on Cayla: she sports not only the tired-looking eye bags, but has also assumed the proper, gloomy Westview attitute. Think this prophecy is gonna self-fulfill?

I’ll tell ya what’s “disturbing”: check out the way Holly’s reindeer is sniffing Les’ reindeer’s butt!
Why does Holly find Funky’s singing “disturbing”? It’s because she knows it’s one more manifestation of the Montoni’s Curse.
The premature aging has already taken its toll (look how young Tony and Funky looked in 2006)…
Then it’s on to the mangling of familiar, well-known song lyrics…

…So the thing sat in Summer’s tape storage shelf for over a decade when Summer finally decided to give him a tape for his birthday (was it his 30th? That might make a little sense, but not enough).sourbelly

Was there some sort of “Do not watch until so-and-so date” note on this videotape? If so, why? Why would Lisa want Darwood to wait X amount of years before viewing it? That makes no sense.
This birthday celebration could plausibly have been Darin’s 30th, allowing for Westview’s chronosynclastic infundibulum aka Batiuk’s ever-more-confounding time jump. According to the Meet the Cast page on the official FW site, Darin’s pushing 30 (we just don’t know from which side). But the videocassette is just marked “Darin’s Birthday”. Maybe they make him watch it every year? That would be nutty. Anyway, the party’s (finally) over, and the tape is rewound and returned to the Lisa Library.

[Darin]is at a real professional low point in his life, he lives with Les Moore, his wife is a full-time dreamer, none of his old local pals showed at his birthday party…
Well then I guess this is the perfect time for him and Jess to start making babies! Right, moms?
Fair, Good, Terrific
How many of you read panel 3 and thought that Lisa was saying “I’m really glad I got to know Fred and Anal“?
We have passed the midway point in the week-long celebration of Darin’s birthday, and apparently, not just Summer but the “whole famn damily” (to use my Dad’s old turn of phrase) have gathered to hear what Ghost o’ Lisa has to say. Pass the popcorn, Fred.
Anyone who has just started reading Funky Winkerbean would be thoroughly confused by this strip: who’s that frizzy haired woman in the hospital bed? How did we go from the hospital to these old people’s front door?
