He couldn’t just make her a forgotten former successful coach willing to impart her wisdom upon the She-Goats, oh no. She’s gotta have a back story involving some sort of struggle she had to overcome and succeed in spite of, just like every other FW character. Or else she wouldn’t really fit in, right?

Epicus’ comment nails it. At the time, she tried to keep a brave face behind those Catwoman glasses…but the lack of R-E-S-P-E-C-T afforded to the first-generation She-Goats still sticks in Ann’s craw thirty forty fifty who the hell knows how many years later.

In the Beginning

Yup, things were tough back then. “All right, girls, we’ll create a basketball program for you…but you can’t use the gym for practice. You can practice in the cafeteria…but don’t expect us to move the tables or clean the floor!” Hey, do you suppose that when that player slipped on the fishstick, the whole cafeteria heard her knee pop?

Fair, Good, Terrific

How many of you read panel 3 and thought that Lisa was saying “I’m really glad I got to know Fred and Anal“?

We have passed the midway point in the week-long celebration of Darin’s birthday, and apparently, not just Summer but the “whole famn damily” (to use my Dad’s old turn of phrase) have gathered to hear what Ghost o’ Lisa has to say. Pass the popcorn, Fred.

Anyone who has just started reading Funky Winkerbean would be thoroughly confused by this strip: who’s that frizzy haired woman in the hospital bed? How did we go from the hospital to these old people’s front door?

Please, you can have the book, just leave.

After an excruciatingly long conversation with the store owner who was just trying to make polite conversation, Crazy Harry delivers a bit of Dialog That No One Would Ever Actually Say and comes across as almost as smug and pompous of an ass as Les.

Again, one has to wonder, why in the hell did Les have his book tour in a pizza joint when he could have helped out an actual bookstore!?
