introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

And itās now a tribute to a business that failed, Funky, but donāt let that stop you from fleecing Mopey Pete. In the real world, Pete should have investigated why Montoniās went out of business, and if people really want the old name to remind them of why they stopped eating there. Businesses donāt succeed by repeating mistakes.
Well, there go the delightful storylines I was anticipating where Ed would bring Ralph and George for a special lunch at āMopeyās Pizzaā and then attempt to pay for the meal with an old athletic sock filled with pennies.
Stay outside. Stay outside, and get covered in heavy snow! Itās called hypothermia, but your next of kin can learn that from your autopsies! STAY OUTSIDE, YOU FOOLS, STAY FOREVER OUTSIDE
A famous (in New England, anyway) real-life example:
āBuilding #19 was a New England chain of discount closeout retailers that operated from 1964 until it declared bankruptcy in 2013. ā¦ The original Building #19 was located at the former Bethlehem Hingham Shipyard, where the buildings were numbered, and the store retained the nondescript name on the building rather than pay for a new sign.ā https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/Building_19

āAlso we plan to just keep it closed. That way, we avoid the hassle of cleaning it up, updating everything, then going out of business.ā

āMontoniāsā and ārestaurantā: two words that should never appear in the same sentence.

Because āMopey Peteās Pizzaā probably isnāt going to cause a stampede of business.

Why is Funky talking to Mopey Pete like heās never met him, or like Mopey Pete has no idea of the history of Montoniās?

Symbolism. Itās like operating a comic strip without changing the name.
