“…and when I say ‘market it’, of course what I mean is whipping up a crude sign with magic marker on a piece of oaktag, and sticking it in the window. Oh, and let’s throw in ‘endless coffee’…who doesn’t love to drink hot coffee with their pizza, right?”

Champion of Breakfasts

August 23, 2011 at 12:42 amThe local Mom & Pop pizza place has offered breakfast items (including four versions of a breakfast pie, scrambled eggs and all) for over a decade. Darin’s decision to open Montoni’s (and offer similar menu items?) is hardly the worst idea ever…though I’m sure the way he pitched it completely sucked.
Wait…this arc started out on Monday with Funky telling Darin that his latest proposal was “the worst idea in the history of ideas” (worse even than “salad shooters“). Then whycome today do we have Funky looking completely surprised at Darin’s breakfast pizza concept? Did it take three days to sink in? At any rate, John is correct: Darin’s pitch isn’t winning me over either, and as he pointed out on Tuesday, it’s been done…

Darin’s market research produces mixed results: he manages to coax a couple lucid responses from Harry before the fog rolls back in.
Meanwhile, over in Centerville:
I can’t let myself even try to comprehend the time/space complexities ‘twixt the Funkiverse and the Cranksphere. A still recognizably African American Cayla Williams displays a fearsome fastpitch.
Counter Intuitive
Did I say Montoni’s was deserted? I stand corrected: as long as the coffee’s free, there will be “Crazy” Harry Klinghorn taking up space at the counter. Darin unwisely decides to use Harry as a one-man focus group to market test his latest hare-brained scheme. Sadly, though he still wears a postal uniform, Crazy’s been unemployed since before Act III began (think about it: have we ever seen him deliver any mail?) and is reduced to scrounging free grub from his old friend Funky. Hence, Harry’s preoccupation with where his next meal is coming from.
Meanwhile, over in Centerville:
Snarker Flummoxicated emailed SoSF to call my attention to a ver-r-r-ry intriguing Crankshaft crossover: Cranky is introduced to the daughter of his friend “Smokey” Williams. Damn! She looks very familiar…

Last day to comment on Friday’s post for a chance to win your own copy of Lisa’s Story!
You know what? I like today’s strip! I like it because in recreating a couple Act I scenes, TB has actually recalled the cartoony style of that period. Funky, Les and Crazy Harry, Holly and Cindy are their old 70s and 80s selves again. The punchlines are nothing to write home about, but I’ll settle for gentle humor over hamfisted melodrama any day of the week.
