by Tom Batiuk
In 1972, Tom Batiuk created a comic strip about high school student Funky
Winkerbean and his pals. Today the characters are adults and the comic strip
explores sensitive, real-life issues such as breast cancer, teen pregnancy,
and addiction.
My Name I Funky ... and I'm an Alcoholic ??? chronicles the
three-year plot line of Funky Winkerbean's slide into alcoholism and his
eventual recovery. Readers see how Funky's marriage, friendships, and work
begin to suffer as drinking takes center stage in his life. Readers also
learn about how an intervention works when Funky's friends confront him and
urge him to seek addiction treatment. Readers also get a glimpse into what
happens in a treatment program, how Twelve Step meetings work, and just how
easy it is to relapse. In the end, readers experience the promise of
recovery by witnessing Funky's commitment to living one day at a time.
