Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for December 29, 2024

“I’m not sure . . . let me talk to Les Moore.”

“What? Why him?”

“Because if anyone is in a position to know if Hell has frozen over, it’s him!”

Well, of course you did, you self-righteous prig. Heaven forbid anything bad happen to the great Dinkleberg.

St. Spires Ladies, you just had an online fundraiser for new choir robes in May of 2021, less than four years ago? What the heck are you gals doing in those robes outside of church that they need to be replaced already?

Also, it looks like we’re leaving 2024 accompanied by Dinkleberg. Wonderful.

WHERE’S CRANKY!!!

Awww, love the sweet gray kitty on the piano bench!

Don’t you just despise people who are like this?

Oh noes. Not this guy again. And it look like he gonna be around for couple of weeks too.

As a late Christmas gift to those who complain about how I never say anything positive about the strip…

Those are some mighty fine BRICKS in the outside view of the church. Plus, no Dinkle in that panel!

BLAÄART!!

It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission, and what better place than a church.

I wouldn’t do that, if I were you.

Good news/Bad news

Good news panel three BRICKS/Bad News panels two, four, five, and six.

Harry, in coming up with this plan did you do any research into state laws on concerning charity gambling events? In Illinois, even a Queen of Hearts raffle must meet certain requirements. The hassle in meeting your states rules for a charity gambling event, might outweigh the benefits. It might be easier to get your local casino to make a donation.

When’s the last time Ed’s bowling team acquired new uniforms? Couldn’t that be a story instead of more Dinkle?

“I’m not sure” … I need to see if hosting a Texas Hold ’em Poker Tournament will violate the cease and desist agreement with the Indian casinos.
