Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for October 03, 2023

Oh how the anticipation builds! We await, our breath bated by the master!

Crank is muttering Angi, Angie, Angi.

It would behoove Pam to have the whole county’s FIRE BRIGADE ….. on “standby!!!!”

:-O

Leaving the various commercial products available aside, Ed never considered just putting wire mesh over the gutters and cleaning them off when needed?

He could always use the flamethrower again.

Cut the tree down, then you won’t have that problem and you won’r have to rake the yard of them. Oh, wait, Ed and a chainsaw! Tree in the house

EMS? You should have the Fire Department on standby!

You might also want to get the fire department on standby. Didn’t he once try to use fire on the gutters?

Spoiler Alert: Do Not Read If You Do Not Want To Know!!!! You Have Been Warned.

Crankshaft will climb a ladder to clean the gutters, of course he will fall from the ladder and will require medical attention. The ambulance driver for the EMS crew that responds will of course be Grandmother Johnson, the same grandmother that caught Crankshafts bus.

He is going to take a pencil and draw them out of the gutter.

Hide the flamethrower.

maybe ed can import the leaf eating spiders of bolivia

He needs to get those gutter guards.

The plan involves gasoline and a blowtorch

Napalm dropped via drone.

Ed: (bare chested) I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It’s the smell of victory.

(House in flames)

Okay, so 2-3 of last week’s strips were just “Pops Clutch doesn’t know what social media/technology things are”, and now this is the second strip in a row that’s just someone saying Ed is about to clean the gutters and that it’s going to go poorly. That is just terrible writing.

I just realized that Crankshaft and Corner Gas’s Oscar Leroy could be the same person

Call gutter helmet, or leaf guard or one of those places. Hey! They should use this comic in their ads!!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
