Okay look as i’ve said before it’s FINE if you want to bring in former Funky Winkerbean cast members. It’s a fair thing for a spinoff to do when the mothership ends and Tom has been with this cast for a long time. And I was on this guy’s side at first as he fit the strip better than say mopey pete. But when you have him smugly trying to fleece his choir for his autobiography… it’s just not funny. It could be but it just isn’t
A teacher can’t collect Social Security. You lose anything you might have contributed before becoming a teacher. Can’t even collect death benefits if your non-teacher spouse dies. I found out the hard way.
It seems like Dinkle accepts various payment methods, including PayPal, Square, Venmo, and even social security checks. However, the only thing I want to see Dinkle take is a book upside his head to wipe that smug smirk off his face.
OTOH, I think it would be wise for the choir to purchase a copy to avoid offending the self-proclaimed World’s Greatest Band Director and being forced to practice into the early hours of the morning.

“Thank you, Dinkle, but I prefer actual sleeping pills.”
“Why, my book is equal to an entire bottle of sleeping pills!”
“That’s what I meant, too.”

Oh, goody! Here and I was afraid we wouldn’t get yet another storyline given over to the more (not Moore) unlikeable “Funky Winkerbean” refugees.

Is this “joke” based on Drums Along the Mohawk? Pretty relevant, as that was only written in 1936!

That would be the most boring book ever written. If you think I’m going to pay for it, forget it. It’s only good for kindling for the fireplace.

If his book is adapted into a movie, its title will be changed to “Drum and Drummer”.
