Time jumps and dopplegangers..

Funky is back in time! Is this supposed to be a twist!? Everyone saw this coming. It would be like if in “The Sixth Sense”, Bruce Willis’s character had been wearing a sheet and dragging a chain throughout the whole movie. Yes, Funky, you’re in the past; all four of you! And although it looks like a Nuremberg pep rally with all of the whiteys around, I can assure you that one of the following things happened.

1. Your car accident knocked you back in time somehow by opening some kinda space/time portal.
2. You’re in the afterlife.
3. It’ll never be explained and everything will go back to normal ala a Simpsons style reset.

Considering you’re still in Westview and sweating profusely, I’d be hoping for a way back to 2010-ish, where you’re the owner of a failed pizza business and a kid that can’t stand you, because this plotline is starting to resemble the movie 1408 more than It’s a Wonderful Life.

Which improbable plot point is he gawking at now?

Where to even start!? Tommy B has left us hanging yet again (Lost was spewing out answers faster than this claptrap) as he streeeetches what should have been two day’s worth of strips into a full 6 days. What is Wideload gawking at? I’m guessing it could be any one of the numerous, ridiculous plotlines that have been juggling in and out of Westview for the past 10 to 50 years, depending on how you’re viewing the time jumps, which I’m starting to think are Bautick’s way of getting around the fact it takes a character six full days to go to the post office to open a letter.

I’m doing something on my end: it’s called reading.

My guest blogging duties are ending soon, so I’d like to pose the following question to all my fellow snarkers; if you could spend one evening alone with a FW character, which would it be? There would be no witnesses, and there would already be a hastily-dug grave in a weed-choked lot waiting for you…

The storyline moved so slowly that it went backwards.

Could this storyline take any longer!? Theories about a possible time slip seem to be accurate, and it now looks like Funky has stepped back in time– how far is anyone’s guess, but from the lack of steam-trains, horse-drawn wagons and dinosaurs, it can’t be too long ago. Knowing Funky, he’s going to screw something up; or is this all building towards to Grand Finale, where he’s able to fix everything? At the speed the story is being told, Funky won’t even be reaching into his pocket for his spare set of keys until sometime in mid-August.
