Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for April 26, 2023

This sounds weird but I actually really love the feel of a hospital. I’m not sure why. It started when I was a kid

Gotta love the look of concern on Ed’s face as they casually discuss his girlfriend’s health.

and away from Lena’s bad coffee.

Teaching adolescents can be trying. My sister, the high school teacher described herself as a functional alcoholic.

A nice, expensive rehab centre.

She’s in Hawaii knocking back margaritas on the beach.

What no comment from Crankshaft???

I can’t tell if Lena is just telling a tale right now or not. On another note, right now Wikipedia states that Crankshaft’s girlfriend is Lois.

Must have a week. Me and a friend of mine were chaperones for a High School Graduation party. Music wasn’t necessarily my type but the kids were decent and they partied until 2 am. No real problems……

Apparently the senior class doesn’t know how to behave civilly. And apparently Batty thinks this is funny.

Yesterday I was kind of disgusted just by the fact that PTSD was being used as a joke. I just remembered that there was a strip a few years ago where the joke was that Ed’s terrible driving gave a kid PTSD, so there’s a real pattern here.

Yes, if there’s one thing you can count in in a rehab center is to be pumped full of drugs. No problems with that.

Medication = Alcoholic Drinks

Wow! :O
