FOLKS!!!! I'm back from my winter travel and ready to get back into the swing of 2023 comics blogging! Usually my first post back is just me going through all the end-of-year soaps I missed, but this year we need to start by dedicating our final frisson of attention to Funky Winkerbean, a strip that went out not with a whimper, but with a truly weird and wild ride. No, I'm not talking about their Christmas strip, in which all (most? apologies, I don't have time to subject this group shot to forensic-level scrutiny) of the Funkyverse characters gathered at a Christmas concert that was billed as being "Jazz messiah" despite the fact that they're clearly just singing normal-ass non-jazzy Christmas music. No, I'm talking about the subsequent final strips, which took yet another time jump ... into the far future!
