If we're pretending time is actually moving forward, all of the characters from Funky's generation are on the other side of 50 by now, but Funky looks at least as old as his assisted living dad, which is probably what scared the hell out of him enough to get a trainer in the first place.

If he isn't doomed, the Misery God is toying with him for idle sport.

If that treadmill was going at any decent speed, Funky should at least be pretty badly bruised.

Apparently this is what happened to gran's first hubby after Normandy while she was off seducing German POWs for intelligence. I think we've been dealing with his head wound for four drat months now.

So, I thought the color stuff was in the present, and the black and white stuff was flashback? It's honestly really confusing.

Okay, I'll finally ask--why would a seemingly-unathletic guy with no apparent connection to or involvement in basketball be a candidate for any basketball team, much less the American national team? Is this just bizarro authorial fiat or is there some backstory I'm unaware of?

He's actually a professional basketball player for Italy. Luckily there's actually a no-kidding Safe Havens diary that explains what happens every week:

Safe Havens posted:

On the same week that Don's professional basketball career came to an end, Dave's got a tremendous boost.
Don's contract with the Havens Fastracks wasn't renewed, and he elected not to pursue other avenues such as playing overseas. Dave could have gotten him on the Florence team, but Don had tired of the lifestyle wanted to move on.
This was days before the announcement was made of the 29 players invited to try out for the US national team that will compete for the FIBA championship this year and the Olympic squad in 2016. Dave, despite his passing skills that led Havens U. to the NCAA title, was never given an opportunity in the pros due to his defensive liabilities and history of knee problems. Now, it seems as if someone (I.e., a certain college coach) may finally have an idea of how to use Dave's skills effectively at the highest level.
The tryouts are in late July, in Las Vegas.

Yeah, just because he's a pasty, muscle-less, sub-6' doofus who's constantly wearing sunglasses, that's no reason to assume he's not a loving slam jam wizard. This is a Holbrook strip, after all.

That was early in the storyline. Now, the black-and-white segments are "It Happened One Night" hallucinations caused by what's-his-name's massive head trauma. Ah, Brooke McEldowney, that's his name.
