    Cushlamachree, Batiuk is really going for a third week of this nonsense? Cranky was shown stopping his bus to pick the little Johnson girl up at the end of Week One! How much more blood is TB looking to drain from this humor-free stone? Shouldn’t we have moved on to “Ed gets all the backyard leaves raked save one still on the tree” by now?

    … she installed a pop-up stop sign, and he stopped 2’ short of a puddle of water.

    Crankshaft has to go through the stages of grief, starting with denial. For example, if you ask me if I actually like Bat-tick’s comic strips, the first thing I’ll do is deny it.

    Heavens to Betsy. Week number three of this? Now that someone has finally “caught” Mr. Crankshaft’s bus, maybe Mr. Writer will finally end this beat to death running gag. Nah!

    get over it Ed. there’s other things in live besides making a poor grandma’s and her cute grandaughter lives miserable. you have you seed catalogs / garden and your “rocket” grill to play with. then your weekly visits with the other cranks in the diner. then using malaproprism as only you can do.

    He’s been shown with kids in his bus, so obviously SOME people catch it daily. He’s freaking picked up the grandmother’s granddaughter from day one. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. So I guess all the other drivers try to make their kids miss their buses, but aren’t as good as it as Ed. What a dysfunctional, cruel town.

    This must be payback for us whining about all the mailboxes. And grill explosions. And gutter leaves fiascos.

    “But—he’s just staring at his nose!” “Lena, you’d grieve too, if that thing was rotting off your face!” Lena: “CRANK! You went out of your way to make my life miserable, literally for DECADES! Now it’s your turn! HOW DOES IT FEEL, ROTNOSE?!” (gets in closer, closer, then hisses through clenched teeth) “Do you know what happens to you on 12/31/2024, CRUDSHAFT? AH-HAHAHA!!”
