Calico Banana Pants

Calico what? What’s with the title of today’s snark? It came to me when I realized by panel 2 that Tombat was basically stringing unrelated words together. This begs the question, what kind of mushrooms are on a Montoni’s pizza? If I didn’t know better and was eavesdropping I’d think these three were tripping their balls off on something.

There’s no preview available for tonight but it’s not like we’re going to leave Montoni’s My-Tunes recommendation discussion for something more interesting like, say, how Summer is doing in college. So here is today’s strip for those of you still hanging around!

It occurred to me this whole week like like closing time at a bar when they turn on the lights and play terrible music to try and get everyone to leave. I’ve seen adult-situation pr0n of Heathcliff. It’ll take more than a lame storyline to scare this snarker off.

Get the Lead Out

Oh, Tombat! Writing comics a year in advance means Crazy Harry, Pete and Crew will be gearing up for the “new” Star Wars movie in 11 months. In the meantime, we get non-sequitur randomness like today’s strip that doesn’t seem to know what point its trying to make.

Isn’t part of the point of recommendations to introduce you to new music? Something like If you liked The Doors Best of Volume One, can we recommend The Doors, Best of Volume 2? wouldn’t really be helpful, would it?

Above: my rendition of Owen’s rendition of the Captain America theme song from the 1960’s cartoon. Click here to see the “real” strip, it’s a hoot.

A bunch of kids sitting around talking about comic book movies.

And when I say kids…well, Owen remains a freckle faced, towheaded kid under that smelly chullo. Cody, meanwhile, appears to be about 37 here. Don’t get me started about Alex, who has the sketchiest timeline of all: she first turned up at Pete’s book signing eight years ago (nearly two years before we were introduced to C&O). Her model sheet on the official FW site’s “Meet the Cast” page (archived for ya here!) gives no clue to her age, but of course now she’s been established as a high school chum of the boys.

And what about that big Baby Huey lookin’ “boy” with the weird hair, whom they do not permit to sit and join them at the table for whatever weird game they’re playing? He was 38 however long ago Act III began, now closing in on 50 and still hovering around teenagers and chiming in on their conversations.

Anyway, the new year is upon us, Sunday is my birthday, life in the non-Funkiverse is pretty sweet. Enjoy the weekend before we commence whalin’ away at 2016 in earnest!
