Umm, Mindy, you were apprehensive to the point of nausea over this deal a couple of days ago. Why aren’t you saying something instead of shaking hands and keeping a blank smile on your face…or are your preparing for your upcoming nuptials with Mopey?
Where’s Pizza Box Monster while this is…OH, MY GOD! SOMEONE CARVED HIM UP AND PUT HIM ON THE SHELVES IN PANEL ONE!!!
Meanwhile, Ed tries to escape through a freezer door but realizes that’s not going to work.
“Kevin Feige! Welcome to your new job washing dishes in a rust belt Domino’s!” “Yeah! I’ve gone from multimillionaire to being crushed with revolving debt I’ll never escape with just a handshake! I’M THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE!”
Mournday’s wearing that 1960s spy movie onesie because she knows this is the last time she can ever wear white. From now on, all her clothes will be colored pizza stain grease. She does lead a charmed life!
It’s just amazing how quickly the place has been spiffed up and stocked with Montoni’s cartons and regular boxes of, uh, stuff. Or did Batiuk just give us another time jump?
The lack of moral support is strong in this thread. And did no one hear him say yesterday that he will continue with some comics work while reviving Montoni’s?
“Thank you relieving me of this curse… this place is inherently evil. Whatever you do, stay away from the old well that’s in the basement. Otherwise, best of luck and I hope you’re both good fighters!”
I see Cranky wandered back in. Do you suppose he will have some role in this story line? Otherwise, why bother, unless Batiuk feels torn between including him or cutting him out all together.
One of the most infuriating aspects of this storyline is that there were characters in FW that actually worked at Montoni’s and could have taken over the business, including a woman of color, but, no, gotta bring in the middle aged white guy with no connection to the shop at all.
I think it’s hilarious how many people come here to complain about a comic strip that nobody is making them read. Also that they don’t seem to realize that it IS a comic strip, and that the writers will determine whether Pete and Mindy will be successful. It seems to me that the writers just want to integrate a familiar element from Funky as they continue to integrate the two comics. I personally enjoy the crossover.
Wait, how did this go from “meet the (former) owner and have him answer questions/give us a tour”, to, SOLD! with no negotiations, inspections, etc.? And where is Pizza Box Monster? If he is part owner, doesn’t he need to agree to this? Also curious as to how this “bare” restaurant as they called it, is fully loaded with equipment and supplies. What exactly did Funky auction off, the pictures and that one tiffany lamp? That was profitable.

The cardboard cutout Crankshaft said nothing after stating he was there to oversee the fairness of the transaction. Had a lawyer like that.

If you say that someone leads or has a charmed life, you mean that they always seem to be lucky, as if they are protected or helped by magic.

Have you ever heard “The Willing Suspension of Disbelief?” I don’t think Batiuk ever has?"
And have you ever heard of hate reading?
