I’m really struck by how the old guy in Funky Winkerbean is just straight-up narrating every aspect of the time travel story almost before it happens and not being surprised or struck by anything at all. It’s like he’s in a hurry to wrap it all up as fast as possible. “Hey, this bench looks new. I’ve gone back in time.” “Oh look, that tv just happened to give me the exact date.” “My younger self is in there and perhaps I will cause a paradox if I talk to him.” How old is Crankshaft in 1980? I always get confused over whether Crankshaft is set in our past or if Funky is set in our future.

They are both set in our present, except that Crankshaft is ten years behind Funky Winkerbean, unless the writer forgets, which happens a lot more often than it should. Let me get you a copy of the orientation brochure... Wait a minute, this is the label off of a bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap. Is this what I've been handing out? No wonder everyone's been looking at me funny. Excuse me, I gotta talk to my print guy. Mutts  Sally Forth  Peanuts (April 13, 1975)  Funky Winkerbean  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire And The Curse Of Tangaroa! (March 6, 15, and 20)

Great marriage Ian and Toby have there, with one being desperate for the attention of his female students and not noticing his dumb wife having issues despite her having no poker face and the other having anxiety over any minor thing that could be solved just by talking

https://twitter.com/Dinosaucy/status/1512670780043137031 I guess it is contractually obligated that every children's movie must contain at least one gross fart joke. I AM GRANDO posted:I’m really struck by how the old guy in Funky Winkerbean is just straight-up narrating every aspect of the time travel story almost before it happens and not being surprised or struck by anything at all. It’s like he’s in a hurry to wrap it all up as fast as possible. I'm amused by the fact that he was worried about causing time paradoxes and then immediately decides to just give his younger self four quarters from forty years in the future, because that definitely wouldn't cause any potential problems at all.

Well, the JLU version of The Question voiced by Jeffrey Combs, anyway. I know it won't. I'm just sitting here imaging things that make me sad that they will never exist.

A Sketchy Life (April 8, 1926) starts with a John Held cover. And then our old friend H.T. Webster:  T.S Sullivant: (timg'd for unconscionable tallness)  Oh, wait, there's more? Okay, then...  Sullivant again:  One without a...oh, hold on...  Anyway, one without a visible signature. Maybe the scanner ate it.  And...what? Really?  Just for the variety of things, a wall of verse from Dorothy Parker (with decorations by W.P.(?) White):  Okay, buddy, I see you've got one more loaded in your slingshot. It better be good.  Oooookay G'nite, everybody.
