So by the time I got a look at today’s strip, there were already seven comments, any and all of which were better than anything I could say about this weird, stupid, unfunny “comic”. Yup, Funky’s got nothing better to do than vex and annoy honest working people, much like Les was seen doing during his book tour.
Well, for starters, it’s Bob Cratchit, not “Cratchet”. And what’s going on with Crazy’s proportions in panel 1? It appears he’s so bent on assuming Kevin’s role at Komix Korner that he’s actually becoming a little person himself! Or perhaps he’s just “dwarfed” by John in his Jolly Green Giant pose. That symbol on John’s t-shirt means something, but I know not what, nor care, though it’s nice to see him sporting something besides the Batman logo.
Today’s question isn’t quite as bizarre as yesterday’s, though the use of past perfect tense (why not just “Do you miss being a mailman?”) makes it a bit weird. I’m so sick of this arc that I’m reduced to picking on the grammatical construct. How about you guys and gals?
…asked nobody, anywhere, ever. Except, of course, in the Funkiverse, where who wouldn’t want to work in a comics shop? Screw the postal service, with their generous salary and benefits! If I can’t be Tarzan, why, this job suits me just fine!

…is Harry trying to sell a comic book to Sarah Palin?
I think with the mousy brown hair with the unruly lock in the front, she looks more than a little like Susan…speaking of missing characters whom we wouldn’t mind seeing again.

…Btw, comic book fans are notoriously hard to shop for, as they’ve usually gotten whatever they wanted for themselves already, it’s so specific that you’d never guess what it is, and kids in general [are] not that interested anymore…
From Wikipedia: “A sommelier, or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, normally working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service as well as wine and food pairing. The role is more specialized and informed than that of a wine waiter.” I suppose this makes John a “comic book maître d’“. Dead Skunk Head’s hiring strategy seems to be paying off, as the Komix Korner is drawing adult female customers for the first time since Roberta Blackburn paid her fateful visit in 2005.
So yeah, this is the one-thousandth daily post here at SoSF. Not historic, as milestones go, but it would have no significance at all if not for the great folks who read and comment here!

Enjoy your morning beverage from this handsome mug, emblazoned with the image of Act II Funky, showing some ‘tude as he leans against his ill-fated PT Cruiser. No more having to drink your coffee straight from the pot!
