HA HA HA! THAT FUNKY WINKERBEAN STRIP WAS FUNNY! :-D

This is why Funky Winkerbean is one of the funniest strips in America today. You can just feel the Schadenfreude dripping in every panel of that strip. You know that divine justice will play out when Summer gets pregnant, gives away her baby and eventually gets struck down with breast cancer herself just like her mother.

And once again, what does that stupid Cleats comic strip do this past week? Stupid, unfunny jokes about skipping rope. IT’S NOT FUCKING FUNNY, BILL HINDS!

Hear me loud and clear, Glens Falls Post-Star Editor-in-Chief Ken Tingley, drop Cleats and bring back Funky Winkerbean NOW!

DEATH TO CLEATS!

LONG LIVE FUNKY WINKERBEAN!

BRING BACK FUNKY WINKERBEAN TO THE GLENS FALLS NY POST-STAR NOW! @-0

FOOB: “You’re a beauty — I’m so proud of you.” What the hell does that mean? “You’ve grown into a thoughtful, intelligent woman (ha!) — I’m so proud of you.” “You’ve gotten everyone to do favors for this wedding and I’m getting of pretty easy — I’m so proud of you.” “You’ve chosen a good man for a husband (ha!) — I’m so proud of you.” OR “You’re a beauty — I’ve looked forward to this day for years.” “You’re a beauty — your grandmother would be very proud seeing you in what remains of her dress.” You don’t beam pride to your daughter because you think she’s a babe.

# 225 Pester and # 226 Uncle Lumpy — I am deeply honored by your comments, but I cannot tell a lie (this time, anyway:-). My local paper doesn’t publish on Monday, so it carries the Monday Foob on Sunday. I wish it would carry something potentially more useful, like the front page from a few days later, but no such luck.

LBTF and CDU re Tuesday FOOB: yes, this is an amazingly nice, simple and touching strip. No overly googly eyes from John, no injected Lips o’ Lasciviousness from Liz. Just kind of a “day-um! look at us” reflection.

Of course, I am honour-bound to mess with it:

(Okay, for real this time…)

FOOB: Well, the 1st panel’s nice, except for what she’s actually doing that he’s proud of! The ending is just sickly-sweet wordplay (at least not a pun!)

FW: I guess I can’t begrudge him that. It’s not like he can come up with his own characters in a decidedly NON-superhero universe (of his own choosing)(fantasy is allowed, however. I’d be a hypocritical Bone/Cerebus/etc. reader if I didn’t), written for a not-beholden-to-corporate-interests publisher, dealing with fairly real-world subject matter, making it about relationships between characters, appealing to anyone who can enjoy a good prose novel/TV show/movie/better comic strips than this one and not just fanboys, created for reading instead of collecting/speculating, possibly in the form of a graphic novel all along or anything. So writing (not drawing!) the most famous superhero — though one as dull as dishwater (or overlong CC coment) — is cool, I guess.

(Okay, now I know there’s a new thread about to render all this missed)
