5.0 out of 5 stars Funky and the gang have grown up, March 1, 2006

By

Funky Winkerbean was a funny comic strip about a bunch of high schoolers. The cast of characters was a nice mix (although sometimes stereotypical) of students and teachers who could always bring out at least a chuckle from the reader.
Tom Batiuk did what few others ever did, he transported the gang (or most of it) into the future. Winkerbean and his pals are all grown up now, but the humor remains. It is interesting to see the development of the characters. They have matured, yet still maintain many of the same qualities they had as teens.
All of this makes for a funny book, often even hilarious.

If you are reading the "jumped" Funky Winkerbean, and wanting to know more about Les' history with Susan Smith, this is the book. It has almost the entire "Susan loves Les but Les is her teacher, so she's going to try to kill herself" storyline.

Also has the storyline where Les is engaged and marries Lisa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky and Les are HILARIOUS!, April 14, 2009

This is a great book! I love the "Funky Winkerbean" comic strip and wish they would publish more books like this! I also like this book because the strip has changed since then - jumped nearly 20 years into the future - and it's neat to look back at once was!

I recommend this book for any Funky Winkerbean fan!
