Musical
Batiuk assisted in the writing of a stage musical adaptation Funky Winkerbean's Homecoming, set in the era while Funky was still a Westview High student. Popular among high school drama groups, the musical was co-written by Andy Clark, who appeared as himself in the comic strip in December 2006. Clark is a publisher of the C. L. Barnhouse Company, and has published several Funky Winkerbean collections dedicated to the character of Harry L. Dinkle.

Famous quotes containing the word musical:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die ...”
