Funky Winkerbean Escapes Auto Death

imageI don't have too much to say about a feature column that notes that the namesake character of Funky Winkerbean somehow escaped a much hinted-at death: I just really like writing headlines with comics characters' names in them. I guess I might additionally note what a bizarrely unique thing Tom Batiuk's greatest creation has become in that wiping out the character the strip is named after would not surprise anyone even slightly familiar with the feature these days. A blackened panel, newsroom shooting, or fanciful cancer dance with Death Himself awaits us all. Go Scapegoats.
