Reality Bites Back

I’M BACK, MY NITTERS!

And I’m, once again, asking for you to remember that VOTING FOR THE 2022 FUNKY AWARDS ENDS THIS WEEK. January 21.

That’s right my beautiful beady-eyed picker-pals! CBH has returned from her baby-dunking trip to the south, and is all puffed up on her new godmotherly authority! It was a very nice playing with the sister-spawn and various in-laws, and getting fed plenty of deliciously greasy southern hospitality. The only tiny rain cloud tacked to the silver lining is that I missed some great discussions. Beckoning went on an epic alcohol fueled Frankie beat down. Sorial got everyone dissecting time skips. Then Eldon of Galt popped out of lurker mode to talk about Re-Boot. And I MISSED IT. I can’t believe I missed talking about Re-Boot.

Vote for the 2022 Funky Awards HERE!

Preliminary research by people who took college level chemistry classes showed that individuals who voted for the 2022 Funky Awards were happier, more energetic, and more attractive to their preferred romantic partners than the control group. (Disclaimer: This statement should not be taken as any kind of indication that the person and/or persons who took college level chemistry classes remember what was taught in those classes or even, indeed, that they passed the class at all.)

An ominous shadow of threatening portent hovered over baby Summer Moore’s stay in the NICU.

Even more ominous than Les’ inhuman puppet mouth in panel 2.

The story seemed to be headed toward a topical fable about sharing too much online, especially when you’ve just had a violent drunken interaction with a potential stalker.

Family Reunion

VOTE FOR THE 2022 FUNKY AWARDS! I’M NOT JOKING!

Voting will continue through January 21.

If we do not get enough votes, I will do nothing but post current Crankshaft strips and describe what is happening in each panel in mind numbing detail! This is a very real threat I am more than prepared to follow through on.

For Example.

A Frank Discussion

First things first.

VOTE FOR THE 2022 FUNKY AWARDS, YOU BEADY EYED NIPICKERS!

Here’s the Voting.

Here’s the Nominees

And Also Here’s More Nominees.

Voting will continue through January 21.

Vote Early. Vote Late. Vote Often.

A community member’s failure to vote may result in loss of posting privileges, lifelong shame, and their username being added to The Wall of Dishonor along with other potential Les Moore sympathizers! (Note: None of this is true, probably. But you don’t want to take that chance, do you?)

A few weeks ago, when I was emailing an awards update to Epicus, I told him that I was planning on doing a couple deep dives during the time voting was active. I also asked him if there were anyone in particular he’d like to see.

He said, and I quote, “You are free to run wild, CBH.” So if you hate the next couple weeks of posts, you can blame him.

He also said, “I’ve always been a big Frankie fan LOL.”

And so, I’m pleased to present, a retrospective on Franklin Pierce.

Get Out the Vote!

VOTE HERE!

Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell strangers at the store! Roll down your car windows and scream it at neighborhood cats!

Voting for the 2022 Funky Awards is now open!

This year voting will continue through January 21!

However, although I hate to be that guy — I’ve spotted a typo.

In the last category, you’ve used the headline “The Best Funky Winkerbean Strip of 2022″. Obviously, you meant to type “The Funky Winkerbean Strip of 2022 That Caused The Least Amount Of Bile To Rise In Your Throat”.

Y. Knott! You are right! There does seem to be some kind of error. I see a category for Best Funky Winkerbean Strip of 2022. But these aren’t the strips I remember being the best this year!

Well, I don’t want to take any awards away from any poor strips that were nominated. But I still have to fix this gross overrsight.

So. One more category for our Awards this year!
