Funky Winkerbean

[wmccall]

For the first time in my memory a hot tub is featured in a comic strip. I'm not sure of the brand or it's insulation method.   Its in today's Funky Winkerbean.  I'll try to scan it when I get home and post it, hoping the author doesn't find out.  

I've liked this strip for awhile as it lets is characters grow up, so you feel you have known them a long time. It can get preachy at times taking on issues such as domestic violence and breast cancer. (Aren't comics supposed to be funny?)

This series involving the hot tub seems a bit erotic for the comics, but they are probably leading into a segment about STDs or something. If I don't lose it, I'll post it tonight.

 I think comics are supposed to be funny, that's why I don't read Mary Worth, Mark Trail, Judge Parker, and those like it.

I work in the IT department of our company, so I get a kick out of Dilbert.  
I miss the Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I really enjoyed those.

Our paper doesn't even carry Funky W.   And I can't see anyone getting upset if you post the cartoon.
I think we'd enjoy seeing it.

I see we have similar taste in comics.  I'll post it tonight.  Another IT type!  The official site, King Features is a month delayed unless your a subscriber, so it will have to wait.

Thanks Drew,

Now for those who don't follow the strip, this couple just met for the first time and she suggested they go to her place, and I'm pretty sure she didn't ask him to bring a suit!

Scandalous!  Where is Jerry Fallwell when you need him!

Thanks again Drew.   I'm almost sure this is heading to a STD issue.

I wonder what kind of tub this is, A SuperFallsApart? But more important, where were the hot single blondes with hot tubs when I was that age.   Wait, its just a comic strip.

Maybe her husband is about to join them.  That happens out there you know.  Maybe she is his teacher?

I bet this type of thing happens to hot tub repair techs all the time.

That and pizza delivery boys.  Imean I've seen the movies. I know.

[drewstar]

Wonder what type of tub she has.  Isn't the knocked/flat corner on the tub found on a nationaly known tub?

Wow this is almost as exciting as my soaps!

Well, it hasn't happened to any home-pc techs I know. At least not yet.  But 75% of my customers are seniors. I did have one show me their 16 year old HS Landmark.

You'd be surprised at some of the stories our techs tell me.  Evidently, a lot of ladies that have service calls do not like to wear underwear beneath their running shorts and they enjoy hovering over our guys as they work on the spas.  The guys really take their time in such instances to make sure the customer is happy.

There are other stories I can't tell publicly.  Even little ol' bald-headed me has been propositioned a couple of times (probably the uniform), but Homey don't play that game.

 Alright - let's focus on the tub in the strip:

Endural exterior,  
controls on the outside - most likely an aux panel inside,  
already hot and bubbling,  
water is clean and clear,
ETL sticker clearly visible (with magnification),
it's obvious the brand.


It's a

They dropped this line pretty abruptly after Saturday.
