Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 05, 2023

Yeah, sure, Lillian the Lizard is going to be posting on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter along with maintaining a blog and filling online book orders. Can’t wait to see that.

Incidentally, today marks two weeks since our titular curmudgeon last appeared in his own strip. Is he still hanging out in an undisclosed location with Barney Google, Castor Oyl, Wash Tubbs, and Fritzi Ritz?

If this Website has an ordering system, then it would have to have been built with a more elaborate software system than these girls could put together (and one that needs a better server than Lillian’s laptop to run on). If this software was in fact an amateur operation, then look for everyone’s credit card information to be stolen before the day is out.

Google: “Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos from his garage in Bellevue, Washington, on July 5, 1994. Initially an online marketplace for books”Literally 30 years out of date.What’s tomorrow? Lillian says “What is this? It feels good going into mouth, followed by stomach!”Shining Twins: “We hear that it’s called—food!”“Oh, dearie me! I wish they’d invented this before I weighed 12 pounds!”

Click, uh oh, my website just disappeared.

See if you can apply a friends and family discount.

So Lillian is going to a byte of the internet commerce a bit of the time.

Why the long faces?

Technology and old geezers. Comic gold there, Batty!!

good thing you get discount

Hey, the profit just goes back in your pocket, so no worries.

The one and only book ever actually sold through Lilliopsaurus’s website.

Not sure how these two mini-geniuses created a website that includes all the back end inventory, sales, shipping, etc., using free online tools, but the most impressive is having it somehow determine your shipping and payment info simply by hitting one button.

It would look even better without that ugly old bat’s picture in it.

She doesn’t stock her books or do shipping, so really this is just a middle man (or woman) reseller for Amazon or whoever. Once or twice I got burned on ebay by buying something that the seller just orders on Amazon and has it sent to me. Now I’m sure I check other websites before I buy on ebay!

My, that new ‘Lillian McKenzie" sure looks familiar. It resembles Batyuk’s own website tombatiuk.com. I wonder if those links for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on Lillian’s website are functional. They’re not on Batiuk’s website.

Uh, where is ED CRANKSHAFT???? : )

Maybe TOO easy! ;D
