Deathless Deer 11/16-18/42

There was no Sunday Deathless Deer, so we pick up the action, such as it is, next Monday:





Professor Hoot and His Faithful Man Frappy would be a great title for an edutainment show.

Also, please note the last strip, where Frappy apparently faints away dead in the middle panel and then recovers immediately for the last panel.

Do we ever meet any knights of the Round Table besides Gawain? Tristran showed up just long enough to get stabbed, and I think Kay was mentioned, but I don't recall any others. Of course, Val spends most of his time away from Camelot.

Wallace, no, please don't spread the idea that it's okay to ride in the back of a truck without seatbelts. This no joke made my opinion of this comic go down quite a bit. I can accept it when Wallace is doing something stupid and crazy because he's a kid, but his dad is letting him do this and his mom is joining in on it when it's extremely dangerous.

Crankshaft commiserates over the end of that plague that nobody actually went through in "Crankshaft".

Tristram certainly has been the second most important so far. Aside from the quick treatment of his and Isolde's story, Val jousted with him early on. As far as other knights of the Round Table, the strip on May 8, 1937 gave us a quick look at Lancelot:



And this strip from January 8, 1938 briefly introduced Bedivere, Kay, Mordred, and Ector (plus Ulfius and Brastias, who I am not sure are from older Arthurian stories or not):



I'm not sure if others play any significant part, but over decades of strips I wouldn't be surprised if there's a storyline with Lancelot or someone along the way. None of the canonical knights play as big a part as Gawain though, for sure.

I expect that Foster didn't want to lean on the famous Arthurian characters too much to prevent them taking focus away from Val.

To add to the many layers of incoherence in the Funkyverse, Funky Winkerbean is supposed to be roughly in the present and Crankshaft about 10 years previously. Which means Crankshaft and his "friends" are commiserating about an event which won't happen for 10 years yet.

ukonvasara posted:

That's not quite right: Funky Winkerbean jumped 10 years ahead of the contemporarily-set Crankshaft but didn't change anything else, resulting in a situation in which FW is set in the present, and Crankshaft is set 10 years earlier, in the present.

Every single cent of company time/money/property that Cooper has stolen is morally justified. Hell, you're probably a bad person if you don't steal from these assholes.

I'm not surprised. I'll never understand the corporate mindset. It'd be so much easier for everyone involved to treat their employees like human beings and ensure that they're healthy and happy, but I guess protecting that almighty bottom line is more important than mere peons like Cooper.
