After months of boring, death-free plots of Wally ogling puppy criminals, Les attending morose book signings, and Tony Moroni soft core pornography, Tom Batiuk finally gets back to being Batiuk today, with Ghost Lisa giving Les a call at the airport.  “Why’d you change your cell phone, Les? Why’d you make me call you on the Courtesy Phone at Houston’s Hobby Airport, like some piece of immigrant trash?”
Stay tuned, this week’s going to get weird.

“There’s no way,” you might think “that Tom Batiuk would have Becky, who lost her arm in a drunk-driving accident (in which current major character and forehead-czar Wally was driving), reach an extreme state of delusion in which she forgets the she herself only has one arm and has the sad, sad profession of high school band director!” But read ‘em and weep. Seriously, weep. This is depressing stuff.
Also, is this the confirmation of the death of  band director, Harry L. Dinkle, we’ve been waiting for? I mean, there’s no way he would have willfully retired, seeing as his home life largely consisted of crying into a tuba.

Funky Winkerbean Deathwatch - 9.9
YOU BETTER NOT BE DICKING US AROUND, TOM BATIUK. Seeing as this makes absolutely zero sense as a comic, this clearly must be some kind of declaration of Funky’s imminent death.
Either that or Tom Batiuk reads our blog and is totally fucking with us at this point.

Even at the worst possible moment, Ed can’t help but make a joke about  the crippling cocaine addiction that probably cost Nikki her job. But I  believe it was Walt Whitman who said “Crankshaft don’t give a fuck.”

It looks like Tom Batiuk decided to back off his whole tragic double-decker bus plot line after reality beat him to the punch. A rare moment of restraint for the provocateur.
