That’s a lotta turkeys. Uhh… don’t they need to be refrigerated? Or are there live turkeys in those boxes? Nate plays the role of Capt. Obvious and draws a withering response from the One-Armed Queen. I don’t watch any of the C.S.I. franchise, but is it such a popular show that the title has worked itself into the lexicon?

Via flashback, Batiuk resurrects the other character whom he famously killed off. I guess the Westview football coaches really do have to talk to the media. And back when “Bull” Bushka was still playing (I’m guessing that’s him in panel 3, holding his helmet and weeping), their coach was…I don’t know, some guy. Young Ed Crankshaft, perhaps?

I just stumbled upon an article on Examiner.com: Open letter to ‘Funky Winkerbean’s’ Tom Batiuk: Dude, you have to lighten up. The author, Brian Steinberg, has definitely been suffering along with the rest of us.

Susan is a teacher, right? So shouldn’t she be in front of a classroom, rather than lurking outside the principal’s office, waiting for the latest dispatch from His Lessness?
