Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for July 11, 2023

Yes, what this strip definitely needs is to spend a week seeing how comic books are made! What subject could possibly be more appropriate for Crankshaft?

Bats had a YEAR to polish this joke, and this is what it is? Get it? POLISH sausage?! From Poland?! (Not less funny than the strip)

What a creep.

This must be one of those “done a year in advance” strips that Batiuk prepared for “Funky Winkerbean,” thrown into the meatgrinder to make more of this baloney.

I don’t think she wants to see your sausage……

Anyone who respects the law and loves sausage should never see how either is made.

P. 3. Peat is about to thumb his nose at his beloved.

Isn’t the collaboration needed to create a comic book done remotely, by email, nowadays?

Do not think he would understand?

I think MoPete has a great idea there. Show Jfff how his precious komix are created, and he’ll probably realize how lucky he is to have cashed them out. Might even forbid Minty to ever see MoPete again. Sounds like a no-lose proposition.

Haha! XD
