Whatever he’s doing, it looks like he’s wrenched his neck terribly doing it

Hey guys, a couple reminders/updates for you re: the new site design:
- There’s a new site design! Please email me at jfruh@jfruh.com if you see any problems. Faithful Web designer Adam Norwood and I are working on fixing some layout issues in older browsers, and implementing some requested spacing tweaks.
- For $3 a month, you can now become a Comics Curmudgeon Supporter! Click here for details, but the short version is you get an ad-free version of the site and advanced commenting features. Your credit card will be charged once a month and can cancel any time.
- A note to those who’ve already signed up: at the moment, your commenting display name defaults to the real name you’ve signed up with, but you can change that to your username (among other things) by clicking on “Your Profile” at the top of the page. We’re working on setting this so it defaults to your username.
That’s it for now! Enjoy, and let me know if you’re having troubles!

Haha, this is just a little game Loweezy and Elviney like to play with each other! In fact, ever since the widespread social and economic collapse several generations back that left Hootin’ Holler completely isolated from whatever other pockets of civilization might still survive, no tropical crops like “coffee” or “tea” have ever been seen by the locals. Elviney and Loweezy are drinking a barely palatable homebrew, made from bark and roots, just like they do every morning, giving it the whimsical names of the exotic beverages they only know about from tattered books.

You know, they say that when you write a “continuity” strip, you have to work on the assumption that your readers only actually check in three or four days a week, which is why you get the repetition I routinely mock here. Today’s Funky Winkerbean really plays with that expectation; if you hadn’t seen yesterday’s strip, you’d assume from the first panel that Cliff Anger and his girlfriend had just finished up a vigorous and fully clothed lovemaking session after a long hiatus, only to discover in panel two that in fact they were just speaking extremely unnaturally about eating a meal in a restaurant. If you had seen yesterday’s strip, though, you’d assume they’d just finished up a vigorous and fully clothed lovemaking session at Los Angeles’s famous Brown Derby restaurant, an act that would’ve been frowned upon even in the club’s wild heyday. Panel two probably came as a great relief!
