Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 09, 2024

He’ll be back—Lena told him Ed narced on his dad at Altamont.

Steve Rogers: “LANGUAGE!”

When can we end this hell?

Just as we was suspected. He coulda be a new interesteeng character but nopes. It’s called writing and he never to be see or hear of again.

I’m shocked — SHOCKED! — by the use of the word aitch-ee-double-hockey-sticks in a family comic strip! Horrors! I’m clutching my pearls! They used a word that’s been allowed by the FCC on broadcast television for over 50 years, yet somehow I’m offended! Horrors!

/s

They seem like such nice lads in Fred Bassett.

I usually reserve this comment for Judge Parker, but, this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid this is stupid…

ed should be getting a deep fried turkey cooker soon hopefully he doesnt defrost it and cooks it in the garage

You kiss Mary with that mouth, Ed?

Still, at least this arc (hopefully?) ended on a reasonable joke. Thumbs up.

Well put there…….Crank!!!!!!

Cranky has seen it all……no surprises!

Really?? I was hoping for some fresh blood with the school bus drivers team. Batiuk could have had a lot of material with this guy. ;-)

If you can’t kill ‘em or beat ’em bloody, there’s nothing left to do but cry.

No mention of how he didn’t even have a driver’s license? I mean, what Lena did is incredibly dangerous.

It’s funny because she allowed a clearly unqualified person to put the lives of all those kids in danger.

LOL!

City bus drivers are the worst!

He’s going home at the end of the day. That’s all that counts…..

A potential source for new material. Nope, we showed him one time, so time to drop him from the strip.

But what about that wordplay by Ed? “All’s hell that ends hell” instead of “All’s well that ends well.” Isn’t that clever? Because “ends hell” is totally a thing that makes sense.

He went to tell his big brother to straighten them out.
