    It is amazing what a box of 120 color crayons can do, especially with the vapor budget you gave us.

    “It’s hard to go wrong with Arial Bold in basic black! And just wait until those WW II searchlights find the Bandelorian bombers as they make a simulated attack run—”

    (Insert Marvin-the-Martian style earth-shattering kaboom)

    “Chinbeard, you should have put more simulation and less attack in those bombers!”

    What, you were expecting Crankshaft himself to appear in this strip two days in a row? Oh, you poor, naive optimists.

    So, I guess we’re to assume that over the past four weeks Masonne Jarre and Dinkleberg selected some “weird, atonal, and dissonant music” by Claude Barlow, purchased the rights, had a studio orchestra record said music, and slapped it on the Starsux Jones film print in time for this week’s premiere? Sure, makes perfect sense.

    Hey, where’s Mrs. Mason Jaw? She wasn’t showing the last time she appeared, but this would be the perfect cliched moment for her to be nine months along and due to pop.

    But first, Harry Dinkle appears to accept Mason Jaw’s overblown praise for writing and conducting the score.

    It’s your premiere at a theater where you are at least an investor. Didn’t you at least help the kids find somebody to stage it?

    The Crankshaft Days and Winkerbean N̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ Weeks continue.

    Glory hog Harry Dinkle isn’t front and center at the premier yet? Will he be arriving at the red carpet event via throne atop a parade float? (Oh, how I hate him)
