Yes, Les Moore is the avatar we love to hate, but at least give him credit today for not losing his patience and smacking the living shit out of Owen…minus a few points for referring to Owen’s choice of “typeface” instead of “font”.
It’s that time of the month! Check out this month’s FunkyWatch: January’s Most Depressing ‘Funky Winkerbean’ and ‘Crankshaft’ Strips over at Comics Alliance!
Today’s lesson from the Cartoonist’s Studio: how to turn one unfunny gag into two!
Seriously, Mr. Batiuk? Seriously? Groundhog Day isn’t ’til tomorrow, dude.

…Let’s re-do an old storyline for the next week before we continue with girls BB.
Clearly Pookster peeked ahead (tsk, tsk!) to find that, yes, TB is rehashing revisiting a pet topic of his: students plagiarizing from online sources. This time the offender is Owen. Poor, dumb Owen. In his mind, since he copied from Teh Internets instead of an actual, physical book, well what’s the problem?
Never mind that “Hound of the Basketballs” is an old, old gag…check out the full, white beard that Jim has grown over the weekend! Impressive!
It’s strips like today’s that make your humble scribe just want to…auughhhhh! “Body up”? A guy who’s lived his life around sports doesn’t know that it’s “buddy up”? This “meeting” between Bull, Funky and Les (and what is Les even doing here?) has degraded into a game of “Let’s Get Bull to Say Stupid Things”.
