Description
Funky reminds us of the real challenges of being human
Funky Winkerbean, a newspaper staple since 1972, is one of the few comic strips that allows its characters to grow and age. As time passes and characters evolve, new and loyal readers alike are reminded that not only does Funky have a future, but the strip has a rich past.
What remains a constant is Batiuk's signature narrative-driven humor. This tenth volume, spanning from 1999 through 2001, embraces the strip's past while casting an eye to a bright future.
