Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for May 06, 2023

“And it may give us enough time to come up with a funny story!”

And so—like a fiery meteor hurtling through Earth’s atmosphere, only to burn down to a tiny cinder as it hits the ground—our astronomical spin on this year’s “Ed and the BBQ” saga peters out to its anticlimactic conclusion. It reminds me of the movie “Armageddon”…except that had more laughs in it.

Ed is guilty of cruel and unusual punishment to a grill…. plus a 50 dollar fine.

Ed is guilty of the unauthorized launch of a frying object.

WOW. Ed without his hat……NASTY…….looks just like me!!!!!

I think we should appeal to the Space-Time Court.

Can we get a second opinion?

Galactus smelled the grill, now he’s coming to eat the planet

Again

Long before the predicted impact, another of Ed’s grills will have altered the trajectory.

Who is Crankshaft talking to?

You lucked out there, Ed.

So they can tell the trajectory of an asteroid that won’t hit us for 10,000 years?

Don’t you mean, “statue of limitations,” Ed?

Yesterday: “Look, something’s happening!”

Today: “Fooled you!”

Worst letter to “Penthouse” ever.

So the “World Police Court” or whatever fantasy organization he’s talking about that can charge people with crimes against the Earth (???) can also charge you with operating a grill recklessly? At least we can look forward to the hilarity of everyone’s descendants getting killed in a fiery inferno.

10K years? I can’t wait that long!

What do we want? Doomsday!

When do we want it? Now!

I was expecting him to say “Statue” of limitations.

Haha! XD
