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

Wow! Nobody would have expected Batiuk to present such a visually compelling argument against recycling, but there it is!

Hahaha, it’s funny because Dinkle’s always been an insensitive, ego-driven, tyrannical buffoon with no thought of encouraging or educating the children entrusted to his tutelage.

It’s funny, because he’s a repellent rageaholic who abuses everyone around him! No wonder he’s a fan favorite, this malignant tumor of a shell of a human being! HO HO HO

The more things change, the more they stay lame.

Really annoying. No, REALLY annoying!

Hey, Henry, remember, you’re only there as a substitute. If you abuse the kids too much, the school will just kick you out and cancel the concert.

“And don’t waste that apple! You think those things grow on trees?!?”

Meanwhile down at the Dale Evans …

Ed laments: "I can’t understand why I haven’t been invited to judge the ice sculptures this year.

Good answer!

Hahaha! It’s funny because the main character has experienced absolutely no emotional growth over his long life and remains the same needlessly cruel POS bully today that he was 50 years ago!

Deja Vu all over again, Harry?

Crankshaft used to have some good Christmas strips. I have a print of one I bring out every year. Not trying to sell any prints with this stuff.

Go away now. No one cares.

Will he finally have an aneurysm?

Once a jerk, always a jerk.

What a heartwarming story The World’s Greatest Bandleader comes out of retirement to help the school band, and all he does is berate them!

That one was actually kind of funny.

Oh, poor Harry Dinkle. He suffers so much for his one true passion. Feeding his ego.

If they’re playing that poorly, shut the bloody door. Show some consideration for the rest of the school.

Yes, Harry. They’re waiting for Christmas. Which is only thirteen days after the concert. We’ve now learned that Bingle is illiterate.

Really no need to talk that LOUD!!!!!!

Thank you, Music Lovers !!

Yeah. They won’t be in school then.

Professor Hill said we don’t have to bother with the notes. With “the think system,”we will play perfectly during the holiday concert.
