  • Any way to read Funky Winkerbean final week?

    From Sharon Tuttle@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 6 15:34:05 2023
    Does anyone know of any way to read the Funky Winkerbean comic strips from December 27 to December 31?

    I was traveling and did not think they would disappear from Comics Kingdom before I could read them.

    The handful of newspapers' sites I checked seemed linked to Comics Kingdom's site as well, and I could not find a Funky link. And I do have a Comics Kingdom subscription and did make sure I was logged in when I checked there...

    (I checked https://funkywinkerbean.com/ and https://tombatiuk.com/, and if there's a link to those strips, I cannot find it.)

    Any assistance or tips would be appreciated!

    The Comics Curmudgeon collected the last week of Funky dailies: https://joshreads.com/2023/01/welcome-back-to-the-post-funky-winkerbean-hellscape/

    I was surprised that the last Funky daily disappeared from Comics Kingdom.
    The last of whatever strip or cartoon always stays up - until Funky now.
    (The last KFS Crankshaft and Grimmy remain on my Comics Kingdom page.)

    Batiuk must have insisted Funky be taken down.

    By the end of the month, the final Funky strips should be available on newspapers.com. Please let me know when the end of the month comes and I can clip them out for you.
