Pizza Crap

Yep, I can see Cory waving a sign around dressed as a slice of pizza or something.

Or nothing! I don’t think anyone here disagrees that the CW is due for his comeuppance. And what could be worse than dressing the cocky, “F the world” little twerp in a pizza costume and putting his punk ass on the street?

I wish to point out that Les looks rather distinguished in panel one. Maybe it’s only when he opens his mouth to speak that he looks like a douche?

McToni’s: I’m Hatin’ It®

You know the only way Cory ever sets foot in Montoni’s is if his dad has summoned him, and it’s never good. Funky is charged up about something. So far, his plan to “beat the economy” (bad, bad economy!) has entailed closing all other branches and curtailing hours at the last remaining one. This on top of already using cheap, poor-quality ingredients and probably paying his employees squat. No wonder Cory is predisposed to hate whatever’s coming next.

Misery Index Monday


Did everybody have a nice weekend? Good. Welcome back to the dreary hell that is Westview, Ohio. Ed Crankshaft Funky Winkerbean sits in his office at the counter working on his latest “can’t miss” marketing strategy: assigning each day of the week its own failed economy theme…”Wealth Tax Wednesday…Tax Burden Thursday…Federal Reserve Fridays…yeah, that’ll get ’em in here to eat our lousy pizza!

Harry’s perplexed look in panel 2 is not a response to Holly’s punchline; rather, he’s trying to figure out how she makes her arms do that.

Crankshaft Crossover Sunday

TB goes all meta on us today: yes, that is indeed the first panel of today’s Crankshaft comic. Now, it would have been really clever to have Ed Crankshaft reading today’s funnies  and complaining bitterly about how unfunny FW has become. Instead, today’s Crankstrip is not only unrelated and unfunny, but it barely makes sense. And speaking of elderly Ed, put a red ballcap on Funky in panel 3 and I defy you to tell him and Crankshaft apart.

“Diversions” is what “they’re calling graphic arts now”? Who are “they“? I’m pretty sure graphic arts is still called “graphic arts”, and outside of the Help Wanteds, the newspapers I read don’t have a “graphic arts section” (or Diversions…my paper calls it the “Better Living” section). My paper does sometimes have articles that stop mid-sentence. That’s what they call a production error. If they want you to go to the web they usually put a link in the article.

I guess newspapers have now joined Wall Street bankers on TB’s List of Greedy Amoral Morons.

Don't Dream it's Over

Down-on-his-heels pizza magnate Funky has arrived in New York City with his best friend/flunky Les to “shutter” the apparently already-shuttered Montoni’s East. Les, carrying a cardboard box (the universal symbol of GTFO) tries to cheer up his old friend…but Funky, referring to himself in the third person, informs Les that “it’s over, Johnny….over!”
