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

“You first!”

Isn’t this the guy who runs over bushes and mailboxes?

Why would he slow down, much less open the door, if he doesn’t see anyone waiting at the mailbox?

“Little girl, disguise yourself and run into a moving vehicle while covered in poison sumac!” clearly explains why no one in town sends their kids to school on the bus. NEXT: Crank demonstrates the Trolley Problem using toddlers.

A second week of this arc? What does being disguised as a bush have to do with catching a bus? I just don’t get it. This is awful. This is stupid.

GOD Bless America! HIS Eagle Will Soar Again! One Nation Under GOD!

Is she TRYING to get the little girl hit by the bus?

Still on this arc? But I knew with Cranky and Granny all flirting, we’d get to bush eventually.

The wheels fell off Crank’s bus. Much like what happened to this strip.

……oh…..the memories!!!!!

The bus arc seems like it’s going in reverse order. Like the movie Memento.

Mrs. Johnson, this will only get your grandaughter killed

Grandma; did you check to make sure there nothing on those branches like poison oak, or, similar?

A whole second week of Sexy Sadie, and we start out with something that makes absolutely no sense. Ed already is stopping for the kid, and somehow making it look like nobody is there will make him stop???

OK cool so if we’re going to continue callbacks to strips that happened 30 years ago, I can’t wait until we get to the part where Cindy gets exhausted from running in this bush disguise, collapses in Keesterman’s yard, then gets urinated upon by Keesterman’s dog.

This literally was described in a Crankshaft strip, by the way. I’m not making any of this up.

Does anyone else get the feeling that last week’s strips signaled for a turn the story didn’t take? Just like Ed usually does.

Always tell your kid to jump into the moving bus.

hes hard at work on a bowling league story people hes just waiting for crabgrass to end there bowling ball arc. plus anytime cranky is on the bus viewership goes up

This is so wrong.

Okay, now this is just stupid and is something that NO ONE in the real world would do. Yes, I know it’s a comic.

Sometimes i wish the archives of Funky Winkerbean were on here on GoComics

Legs are only good once it seems…..

A gag on Crank to get the bus to stop…..he would stop and look at the moving bush!!!!!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
