Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for May 31, 2024

Okay, okay, that’s a good one. Six straight days of Ed and a decent Friday punchline? In spite of Mopey’s punim dominating the landscape this week, it’s the most pleasant time I’ve spent in Centerville in a while.

DAY FOUR OF TABLES! YEEAAHH TABLES!!!

Just call it “Sssssssuckball” for short.

Truth!

And the field-side urgent scooter chair repair mobile unit.

As you drive by at 60 mph.

Second day of Crank doing all the talking. The two pizza barons ignore the babbling old fool, hoping he’ll leave.

“EMS vehicle,” not “ambulance”? This strip is sounding more like “Strange Planet” every day.

That makes sense.

Dem ole boys could probably out run us all!

Being on standby at Ed’s softball league games, gives the local EMS squad something to do on Thursday nights, between runs. Just like on football nights during that season.

Ah, yes! nothing brings a smile to one’s face like the thought of twenty old men on the verge of death.

Ole Cranky at his best……….

Cranky and athletics are not a very good fit

It does leave an ambiguity. When he talks about the “city field”—does he mean the city where he lives or the city where Montoni’s is located? They are not the same place.

Stop by and see your sponsor money at work.
