* [[Age Cut]]: [[Time Skip]] II officially began with a [http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComick.mpl?date=20071021&name=Funky_Winkerbean Sunday strip]. Les began to say "You know your mother would be proud..." while young Summer and he hold hands. The next panel is a much older Summer's hand still holding his. Les finishes with "...of the young woman you've become" as the final panel shows the teenaged Summer and middle aged Les.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Funky is a recovering one. And Wally has had issues with alcohol as well (his future wife, Becky Blackburn, lost her arm in a drunk driving accident with him behind the wheel).
* [[Always Someone Better]]: Keisha, Summer's basketball rival whose great talent overshadows her and thus deprives her of her love for athletics. And now Keisha and Summer are step-sisters.
