Fraidy Cat

So on Monday, it was “Woe is me, no one has read my script or replied” but by today’s strip everyone has read it and is sending him feedback. The cat is making less and less sense the more he sticks around. It’s almost like there’s a gaggle of tulpa-cat loving housewives that just think Le Chat Blue is the best thing since Garfield. Can a Le Chat Blue hoodie be far behind? Viral Web memes? Macy’s day parade balloons!?

I still wonder what universe Les lives in where a book about someone’s wife dying of cancer would generate massive amounts of interest in Hollywood. I mean, for heavens sake, this is what people want to see in movies this summer:

Godzilla Slams San Francisco
Intelligent Apes Over-Run Mankind
Tom Cruise Does Groundhog Day
A Gun-Toting Raccoon and Talking Tree Save the Galaxy

Cat-Astrophe

Pushed so hard? Is there some other comic strip Les is starring in that I’m not aware of that’s being referenced to in today’s strip? For the past three years he’s sat down at his computer a handful of times and bitched about no one understanding his genius but done very little actual writing. From his MS Word’s point of view Les has been in and out of a coma for the last couple of years.

3 years = 1095 days
1 page of script = 1 minute of screen time. (old rule of thumb)

With that in mind, Les was hunting and pecking out a paragraph a day, if that. Some inspiration Saint Lisa was!
The cat should have walked across the keyboard. It would have probably had better results.

SoSfdavidO here, bringing you snarks for the next couple weeks! Who is up for some more wacky hijinks with Funky & the Gang? I know I am!

Oh, great, the damn talking cat is back in today’s strip! The problem is, the cat is looking less ethereal and more like an actual clawing, pooping cat. Any reader new to Funky Winkerbean and casually dropping in (God help them) would just assume this is a strip that features talking animals.

Don’t we have enough of that with Mark Trail?
