Bull Bushka's Race Against Death (Otherwise Known As Funky Winkerbean)

After the last few days, I really hope that this is not a "Bull develops Parkinson's" story, because that would be pretty crappy coming right after Richard Thompson's death.

I think it's maybe Dr. Watson as portrayed by somebody but it's not the obvious Burke or Hardwicke so I'm baffled. Handlebar doesn't seem rocking enough for Conan Doyle himself.

Maybe? It does kinda look like him but "older guy with gray hair and a mustache" describes a lot of people.

Thread's still here huh? It's been awhile...2014 I think? Those of you who have been around that long might want to sit down. If you're drinking coffee, swallow it, and put the cup somewhere you won't knock it over.

Ready?

It's All Right, Chief Dharma

...Yes, it was a dream. One that lasted over two years for all of us but less than two months for those Koreans who paid more attention to comic hub sites than I did. In that time, two hundred ninety three new comics were posted on a new website with the newest one having been published in late April. The Daily Focus archives are no longer publicly available. Finding older Dharma comics would necessitate trawling random Korean blogs. Or the Something Awful Archives for the ones I already translated.

As for me, well, the reasons I left the Something Awful forums are largely unchanged, but right to the end I did enjoy translating these. For real life reasons it just stopped being practical. Now it is again- for the moment anyway.

Why would it take that long to redo a bathroom? Its make the bathroom unusable right?

Like, my dad took that long to tile a floor but he literally would place some tiles down and then abandon the project for weeks at a time.

Bobulus: Jan 28, 2007

The thing I can't get over with the Tinkersons is how rabidly everyone seems hate everyone else. It's not a case of them being naive or absent-minded. Everyone seems to go out of their way to do the things that will make the people around them as miserable as possible.

When every single comic can be ended with "Christ, what an rear end in a top hat!", something is wrong. The creator is either trying and failing to creating a wacky sitcom family or is some kind of empathy-less monster.
