In this sixth volume, we see the changes in tone that now
characterize Funky Winkerbean. The story arcs increasingly
intertwine to mark the shift from the simple sitcom mode to a more
complex narrative with subplots. At this point in its evolution,
Funky Winkerbean is resonating with readers and its popularity is
growing. Ed Crankshaft, the irascible and curmudgeonly school bus
driver, has become a fan favorite-so much so that cartoonist Tom
Batiuk spins off Crankshaft into his own comic strip. Westview High
School band director Harry L. Dinkle, the World's Greatest Band
Director, takes the band to New York City for a gig at Carnegie
Hall, and drum majorette Holly Budd performs her acclaimed flaming
baton trick with catastrophic results for the hallowed hall. New
characters continue to appear. Cindy Summers, the most popular girl
in school, and Bodean, Westview High's resident hood, join the cast
as the polar opposites of the high school continuum. Big hair was
beginning to come in, and Cindy's hair was the biggest of the big.
Crossovers between Funky and John Darling continue, and with the
introduction of Crankshaft, new crossover opportunities emerge.
Change is becoming a palpable part of Funky, and some big changes
unfold in this volume.
