Hmmm, in light of yesterday’s strip, is Les talking about Funky participating in the annual Cancer Fun Run or is he questioning whether Funky will have to urinate during the event (not an invalid question given his obviously very poor condition, I might add)? Wouldn’t surprise (or entertain) me either way, I suppose. Totally generic “Les and Funky jog” strip here: Les being annoying (that headband makes him even more unbearable), Funky bitching (although those miniature ankles of his gotta be hurting), gazebo, bench, Lisa’s tragic death, sweat beads…it touches all the bases even as it strikes out looking. Generic as it gets. Have a happy 4th of July, all!

No Country for Old Men
Once again, feeble Funky and lame Les have their fitness routine disrupted by younger, fitter specimens (last time they were on bicycles). Once again, they are forced to yield…and once again, they “slide over” to the wrong side of the path.

Oh that wacky Owen, always so stupid, unmotivated, lazy and worthless! And he has a trademark daffy hat, too! He’s OUR Crazy Harry! And just like how Harry had his trademark air guitar gag, Owen has a beloved running gag of his own too: the look of general idiocy on his face!
Well today’s strip offers something new (besides a respite from the “Becky’s Mom’s a Bitch” arc): a glimpse of Owen laughing and enjoying himself like a normal kid. Although skateboarding seems a little too cool a pastime for these two marching band/comic book nerds. At any rate, their fun soon falls victim to Westview’s Undercurrent of Melancholy.
Too Much, Tragic Bus
Today’s comic is much more entertaining when reimagined as a Sunday strip:
Speech-Les
It rained so much that the red slickers on loan from the band have turned white! As the last drops fall and St. Lisa parts the clouds,
Les expresses his gratitude to the participants. His words go largely unheard, however, since the bullhorn he’s using lacks a mouthpiece.
