Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for June 18, 2023

Please let Ed be working on a crop of triffids.

Growing a bumper humor crop of nothing, I see.

Shouldn’t Lillian be standing in front of her roll-top desk writing these bon mots down?

I killed a hundred weeds today! No, you only killed 98 weeds. Geez, sorry, I round-up.

Long thyme no see.

Thistle be the best day ever.

I’m kind of a big dill.

How much longer till Ed is planted?

I wonder what he is planting, or is he fertilizing the garden?

She said, moments before he set the back yard ablaze.

…….from sun to sun…but a gardener’s work is never done!

Ed needs all that stuff just to spread fertilizer on his lawn? And, why doesn’t he volunteer to do Lil’s?

“When I asked him to ‘plow the garden’, I meant….”

Err, he’s fertilizing the lawn and spraying weed killer at the same time?

Growing invisible corn.

Not so organic.

For a plot that is about 4 × 8 feet…

Looks like Ed is wearing a utility backpack from Bean’s End to carry all the uni-tasker tools he buys from there.

Lillians next book—-Murder in the Garden?

Mysterious Ways … good song by U2.

Haha! XD
