Also, does this imply that Cancerwife is still alive in 1997/now/ten years in the future?

Cancerwife's death is what triggered the time skip in Funky, so while she's alive now, ten years from now in now she is no longer alive. Of course, it's been almost ten years since Lisa died in 2007, so at this point now is closer to now than now is, unless we take into account the fact that now was six or so years ago in the strip (Going off Les' daughter's school career), so now it's now as opposed to now.

What really bugs me about this comic is that this girl (dunno what she's called) really looks like my aunt.

Also, my prediction: gonna be some loud shouting, followed by some dull silence and then they make out.

When you explain it it's so simple I don't see why I had trouble with the concept in the first place.

At worst she's a little self-congratulatory but poo poo if I could have cut hair that well at 18 I'd brag too.

I will concede to having acted like a goony high school kid like these dweebs til the end of freshman year but I honestly had high hopes when Gunther said he was taking her for dessert. Like, that's pretty assertive! But then it went right back to normal.

Hey, those first two panels don't look half bad. The artist should start drawing all the characters like that, it'd be a huge improvement.

e: hell, just change the setting to the 1940s, start following around Kit's grandpa, and make it a noir detective strip
