C’mon, you remember that rally in the town square two years ago when the girls basketball team made it to the state finals, right? What? They didn’t make it to the finals two years ago? They lost their last game to Big Walnut Tech? Oh. Well, surely you knew that Funky was president of the Westview Chamber of Commerce? You had no idea? Don’t feel bad; neither did two of his closest friends.

How did she ring the doorbell?
(Ahwatukee joe’s comment from last year’s turkey sale arc was so deliciously snarky I just had to bring it back.) At least this year Becky is smiling at potential customers rather than threatening them.
MMM, Crepes…

…I think that Westview sports, girl’s basketball and band at least, will be saved, though. Probably by the sale of the Starbucks Jones 1991 collector’s edition foil-hologram cover issue 175 printed with ink containing the blood of Harrison Schmitt.
Les’ startled reaction in panel 3 must be because he thought Funky said something about “hanging the creep“
I guess there was more than one rare, valuable comic book in that vault. TB has positioned Act III Les as the gifted author, caring parent, wise teacher and sensitive ladies’ man (even though the rest of us see Les as a smug, self-absorbed schmuck). Funky’s function in Act III is the workaholic/philanthropist. Since the last time jump, the Funkster has stepped up to:
- Rescue a stranded Les from NYC following Lisa’s death.
- Make good on the Lisa’s Legacy proceeds that were stolen (by his son).
- Sell a rare comic in order to pay the rent for his own commercial tenant, Dead Skunk Head John.
And now, when all appears lost for Westview’s high school sports programs, Funky once again descends from the rafters, checkbook in hand, to somehow save the day.
We Have Heard the Chimes at Midnight
That Shakespeare Halloween costume must have gone to Les’ head. Did he really expect Bull to pick up on a quotation from Henry IV Part II?
Pie 'n' Cry
Les continues to distinguish himself as Westview’s, nay, Ohio’s…hell, the world’s most clueless jackass. He decides to “cheer up” Summer and Keisha by bringing them to Montoni’s. The girls stare at their pizza in disgust while Cayla absently fingers a blemish on her chin. I’m sure that the next stop is Les’ favorite park bench.
