Given the amount of affection and attention Funky has displayed towards his son in recent memory, I would think his reaction would be less “Can’t we talk about this?” and more “Have fun, don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.”

…We’ll also discover, over the next few days, just how bad this format is for this type of discussion. Two or three panels requiring a setup and punchline could never adequately address the issues that this family would need to address, and I doubt Batiuk’s ability to do this even more than an average cartoonist’s.

In a Funkiverse where a basketball foul shot can hang in the air for a week, the Winkerbeans’ reaction to “little Cory’s” enlistment goes from shock to “being ok with it” in a mere couple days. I’m pretty sure as soon as their soon-to-be-soldier boy is out of the room, Mom and Pop will be exchanging  high fives and breaking out the vodka and orange.

OK, I think today’s strip is actually funny. Although “pedantic schoolmarm from a bitter hollow” far better describes Cory’s former “language arts” teacher, Mr. Les Moore,  than it does Funky, who is merely bitter (and, well, hollow).
