Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 27, 2023

Or—and I’m just spitballing—you could tell him not to irrigate the attic, or try moving the fakakta funnybooks out of the attic to someplace dry and fertilizer-free!

So I guess this means we’ll be getting yet another trip to the Komix Korner in April?

Comic books…it’s always about the comic books.

and his drainage system is the cracks in the flooring.

Like Ed, I keep forgetting whose house it is.

Um…does Ed not realize the water damage to the floor that’s going to result from this?

Ed won’t do that again

The man is creative

He will come up with something new, and more destructive

Who’s house is this?? Crank doesn’t seem to know… or care.

Aha! The denouement that makes sense of last week’s arc! It’s all worth it now.

Are they not keeping an eye on that guy?

You could probably make a pretty penny selling vintage comic books.

It’s just water, but it’ll ruin the ceiling below, and drip on your furniture, stereo, computer, books, etc. etc.

How did you pay for the roof repairs, after Ed’s accident with the flame thrower?

It’s a good time, right now, for them to declutter the attic – fast – before Ed puts up his watering contraption. Whatever Ed cooks up usually leads to some kind of setback for them all.

Hmmm…what exactly is Ed growing up there? They must not live in one of the 22 enlightened states.

I can’t believe most of the stuff Ed does. He should be in a home!

Good idea about the comics!

So Jeff was complaining that his comic books disappeared and went and replaced his treasured copy. Then he comes home and digs out his books and says he needs to get rid of them? Who’s getting committed into the home first, Ed or Jeff?

The attic is a good place to grow outlawed plants!

What is Ed growing that he has to hide it in the attic? Some weed he doesn’t want to kill?

Uh-Oh. Too late.

Could this be the final “Crankshaft” storyline [sic] about comic books? Vegas is currently 20-1 against.

Haha! XD
