Why didn’t anyone tell me that Funky Winkerbean had added a Marvel Comics artist to its strip? OK, actually they did (Thanks, Tim). The long-running comic strip just wrapped up a story about Pete, who returned to town for a comic convention. Apparently he’s a big shot writer for Marvel Comics now, working on something called “Dream Warrior.”
As you may remember, the strip jumped ahead ten years back in October, and Tom Batiuk has been revealing what happened to the cast over those ten years. If you’d like to see the entire comic convention story, the blog Stuck Funky follows Funky daily, providing the day’s strip with commentary. Start here and then move forward in time.

“Dream Warrior”. Heh. It’s always kind of funny the way that, nearly 90% of the time, when people make up a fake comic book in a story, they come up with a title that pretty much guarantees that I would never touch it if I saw it on the stands.
