Remembering where he parked the car is “not a problem anymore” for Wally. ‘Cause remember all those wacky gags dealing with his absent-mindedness? Neither do I. But I wonder if Buddy can help whoever colors these strips remember what color Rachel’s pants are supposed to be? She’s gone from black, to brown, to black, to brown…

Now It's Depressing
From the cartoonist who turned a Kilimanjaro adventure into a mundane trial…today we bring you the “undercurrent of melancholy” associated with the county fair! Nothing, nothing in the Funkiverse is meant to be simply enjoyed! Nice going, Rachel. Wally actually had a smile on his face until you went there.
Wheel in the Sky
The anthropomorphism of Buddy continues…Yesterday he sported a huge grin as he watched the DockDogs® perform; today he cowers Scooby Doo-like at Wally’s feet. A little more than 1/4″ removed from reality, as is the likelihood that even the most clueless carny Ferris Wheel operator would let a service animal ride in the bottom of the car, endangering the animal, his owners and the people below.

By the way, both of these people have young children. Did it occur to them that maybe little Robbie and probably not-so-little Wally Jr. might enjoy a visit to the fair?

Oh, shit. Rachel dyed her hair blonde. That means she’ll be big as a blimp in the next Time-Jump, just like all the other formerly-semi-attractive blondes in this strip.
Aaaannd in case you were wondering what Rachel would look like if it came to that, I give you today’s panel 2. But you can’t blame a funhouse mirror for what’s happening to Rachel and Wally’s faces in panel 3!
Taking a cue from Rachel, here’s a song I like called “A Little Bit of Everything” by Dawes:
