Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 24, 2024

How about something funny, like “No, getting the bomb squad to locate and defuse his new flamethrower!”

Pmm? You don’t want to bring the bags of fertilizer into the house.

I thought that what garages were for, or doesn’t he have one?

“So when you say ‘supply chain issues,’ you’re referring to something completely unrelated to supply chain issues? Got it.”

That must have filled up half the truck.

Hahaha, it’s funny because Ed ordered a large amount of gardening supplies. And thus another “Crankshaft” arc comes to its sidesplitting conclusion.

Dear Mr. Crankshaft.

You are in violation of the HOA restrictions regarding storing goods and packages in public facing areas of your property.

You will be fined $1,000 per day for every package remaining on your front property and in community view after 24 hours.

Sincerely,

Your Friendly Homeowners Association Board.

Not too bright for someone who lives on a fixed income.

Like this strip—“WOW, this a lot of manure!”

Holy Cow, is Ed a prepper?

OK, Pam, time to call the elderly services hotline. This is a sign of mental illness.

There’s something missing in that last frame…

…a queue of all the neighborhood cats.

I think as you get old you actually order less stuff. You visualize where it’s going to end up and just skip it.

Holy cow! That’s a lot of packages!

I get the joke. Ed has an addiction shopping from this outdoor sports web site, like some have an addiction for shopping from Amazon. Trouble is, do I want it?

I guess the Beans End company sold their Sikorsky helicopter…

ill flip a coin on what was worse this week cranky or insuffable mary worth

Hmmmm, retirement must be paying off for Cranky?

I had an uncle who was like that. He was disabled and ordered stuff off the TV all the time. When he passed we found stuff that he never even opened.

UPX and Bean’s End have walled Ed up inside his own house! Hooray!! Time to crack open the amontillado!

Mush have been on strike for a looooooooooong time!………all the back orders!

Topical and funny and in keeping with Ed’s personality and spending habits
