Summary

In this seventh volume, we see the changes in tone that now characterize Funky Winkerbean, as Funky becomes more of a reality-based comic strip that depicts contemporary issues in a thought-provoking and sensitive manner. And Tom Batiuk did something even more radical: in June 1992 he rebooted and restructured the strip, establishing that thte characters had graduated from high school, and the series at that point begins progressing in real time. Funky Winkerbean placed Batiuk at the forefront of this new genre in comic art history. His bold characterizations and dramatic plots are engaging for his readers (teens, parents, and educators alike) in stories with which they can identify. Realizing there are many strips on the comics page for readers interested in a fantasy world, Batiuk provides an alternative by creating more powerful and real stories. - from cover fly leaf.
