"Funky Winkerbean" has got to be one of the more multi-personality comic strips out there. In its 43 year history, it has undergone two "Doonesbury"-styled rebootings, and even this first incarnation, with Funky and Les and the gang as high school underclassmen, went through significant growth and change during its existence, eventually dealing with weighty issues such as teen pregnancy, bullying, suicide, depression, parental rejection... It's a pity that the strip had such an inauspicious beginning. This first three years of "Funky Winkerbean" are mostly wretchedly unfunny, given to pathetic reaches for horrible (not in the good way) puns. Occasionally a strip will break through the murk and bring out a mild chuckle. But for the most part, it's amazing to me that this comic gave rise to a much larger world that has twice thrust forward in a microburst of strip evolution, and as flawed as it still is, has become one of those strips I make sure to read every day. I hope this complete reprinting of the series makes it to the later incarnations. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Tom Batiuk was a junior high school art teacher in Elyria, Ohio, when he created a comic panel aimed at teens for the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. That panel was the precursor to what became Batiuk's award-winning comic strip Funky Winkerbean. Since its debut on March 27, 1972, Funky Winkerbean has chronicled the lives of a group of students from the fictitious Westview High School. This volume, which presents the strip's first three years, introduces the strip's title character, Funky, and his friends Crazy Harry Klinghorn, Bull Bushka, Livinia Swenson, Les Moore, Holly Budd, and Roland Mathews. Principal Burch, counselor Fred Fairgood, and band director Harry L. Dinkle also make their first appearances. Funky fans will relive Les's misadventures in gym class and his unintentional attendance at the homecoming dance as he remains stuck on a climbing rope high above the gymnasium floor. They will remember Crazy Harry's ability to play pizzas like records and his air guitar virtuosity, and majorette Holly who never removed her uniform. They will recall the school's winless football team, and Harry Dinkle's attempts to win the Battle of the Bands despite the contest always coinciding with a natural disaster. Volume 1 contains a charming autobiographical introduction by Tom Batiuk that shares his early attempts at cartooning, discusses his teaching career, and explains the genesis of Funky. Subsequent volumes will each contain three years of Funky comic strips and will be published annually. Batiuk has been recognized for his humorous and entertaining portrayals of the students and staff at Westview and acclaimed for his sensitive treatment of social and educational issues.
