Champion of Breakfasts

The local Mom & Pop pizza place has offered breakfast items (including four versions of a breakfast pie, scrambled eggs and all) for over a decade. Darin’s decision to open Montoni’s (and offer similar menu items?) is hardly the worst idea ever…though I’m sure the way he pitched it completely sucked.

Wait…this arc started out on Monday with Funky telling Darin that his latest proposal was “the worst idea in the history of ideas” (worse even than “salad shooters“). Then whycome today do we have Funky looking completely surprised at Darin’s breakfast pizza concept? Did it take three days to sink in? At any rate,  John is correct: Darin’s pitch isn’t winning me over either,  and as he pointed out on Tuesday, it’s been done…

Counter Intuitive

Did I say Montoni’s was deserted? I stand corrected: as long as the coffee’s free, there will be “Crazy” Harry Klinghorn taking up space at the counter. Darin unwisely decides to use Harry as a one-man focus group to market test his latest hare-brained scheme. Sadly, though he still wears a postal uniform, Crazy’s been unemployed since before Act III began (think about it: have we ever seen him deliver any mail?) and is reduced to scrounging free grub from his old friend Funky. Hence, Harry’s preoccupation with where his next meal is coming from.

Meanwhile, over in Centerville:
Snarker Flummoxicated emailed SoSF to call my attention to a ver-r-r-ry intriguing Crankshaft crossover: Cranky is introduced to the daughter of his friend “Smokey” Williams. Damn! She looks very familiar…

Drag 'til You Drop

Lesser Whark sez: “The complexity of drag and drop is only justified if you might put the ingredients somewhere other than on the pizza.  Montoni’s: the only pizzeria where you can order pepperoni in your soft drink.”

Sensing Tony’s technophobia, Darin proceeds to just flat-out just fucking with Tony’s head.

Lesser Whark again: “These two strips [Thursday’s and today’s] contradict each other.  Does the app just direct people’s browsers to the Montoni’s website (a waste of an app, especially given their discussion on the 25th)?  Or, does it replace the website, as described in the second strip?”

Beep Beep!

Funky and Tony look to be about the same age. ……Except Tony is supposed to be 20 years older than him. –Riff Chick

Could those glasses be any less masculine? It’s like Funky borrowed them from Dame Edna. –David O

I like Funky sporting those Al Davis Granny-Glasses chains again. –sourbelly

Oh yeah, those Funky glasses are just too much. Looks like he just got back from bingo. The guy ages in dog years. — Epicus Doomus

To me he looks at least twenty years older than Tony, who at least is standing up on his own. –Miskatonic Sophomore

Considering Funky’s usually being looking seventy-eighty-something lately, maybe this can be seen as an improvement. –John

Just how does he plan to ‘get’ that app written? Will he write it himself (lots of time), or contract it out (lots of money)?

Apparently, there’s a third option: pull it out of his ass. Darin unveils his (useless and totally unnecessary) mobile app for Montoni’s pizza. Tech-savvy though he may be, Darin has yet to learn that folks in Westview are a little touchy about distracted driving!

I just hope White Minivan Cell Phone Girl (if she survived, that is) doesn’t start fooling around with her pizza apps while driving and end up sending someone else hurtling through time.
