Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for July 05, 2024

And the town’s Fire Mutual Aid goes into …… DEFCON-5 status!!!

:-O

The town immediately knows when Cranky plans on igniting his grill.

Stores are required to report to the authorities any time he buys charcoal, lighter fluid, or any ignition device.

Cranky should be at Gitmo.

Cranky is getting old

You can still identify the shape of the grill and it never went airborne

Maybe he can train Pete in the fine arts of grilling so someday he can launch his own grill

Failure to launch. A complete disaster.

Hoo-boy… I think they should clear out before the Army shows up!

Master of disaster!!!!!…………..serious disruptions to the functioning of a community that exceed its capacity to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be caused by natural, man-made and technological hazards, as well as various factors that influence the exposure and vulnerability of a community.

And Green Arrow is coming over with some of his famous chili…..

I’m not surprised he set off the sirens.

im glad pizzabox monster wasnt there or scarecrow from wizard of oz there flamable

It’s funny because EVERYONE knows it’s going to be a disaster, but they all just stand around and watch. Like the time Keesterman encased his mailbox in concrete blocks, and HE was vilified for the damage to the bus.

I guess this means NASA won the “who can light charcoal briquettes faster” competition.

Ed Crankshaft, the original red neck “here hold my beer” moron.

No one ever learns a thing!

“They turn it on every time Gramps grills… because Gramps always grills at noon on Thursday, and that’s when they test the siren.”

Remember, correlation is not causation.

Can’t that town issue a single-user grilling ban?

The town’s tornado siren was originally the assembly call for the volunteer fire crew.

Running gags are the best

Why is Ed the only one whoever gets smudged?
