Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 10, 2024

“Yeah! I always wanted everyone to know I survived riding his bus to school!”

I’m disappointed. I thought for sure that Ed would ask “Can someone give me a hand?”, and then these two clowns would burst into applause. Has Tom lost his copy of Captain Billy’s Whizz Bang?

TikTok header would read, another homeless person lying on the sidewalk.

Come on, someone have a heart and call 9-1-1. Your selfies and uploads can be done while waiting for them to show up.

First aid- social media style.

Why does Batty call TikTok by its real name, yet calls Facebook “MyFace” (a nod to the old MySpace)?

At least Batty didn’t use the phrase, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!

Upload fallen down old man’s video? Why anyone want to see that? Or you gonna ask him to falls down again so that you can record that and put it on Tick Tick?

Looking forward to someone coming along and stealing everything he dropped when he fell. Except his hat; nobody would want that stinky old thing.

Dude! Not cool, man! He could be seriously hurt!

I thought his left hand was a kitten before I enlarged it.

These days, people will see someone get killed and want to record it and put it on social media! People like that have no morals! Much less, sense!

The man could be hurt. Give him a hand, kids. Help him up and pick up his groceries.

21th century youth!!!!!

C’mon,kids,the man’s 33% dying down there.

As Charles Schulz once said—“It’s probably not serious. Second or third aid will do”

Payback for a million mailboxes and mad Moms.

Oh, let’s trash Gen Z while we’re about it.

Sad comment of today.

Thankfully it’s only a small percentage of the new generations that would act this way. Phones and social media the new crack for the masses.

A passerby comes over and starts yelling; “What’s wrong with you people!?” He then throws a blanket over Crank thinking he’s one of the many winos who sleep on building grates to keep warm. “There, there, buddy. Don’t mind the gawkers.”

is that gunther and bets?

hold on old man i gotta watch this cooking video first

First things first!

I wish it wasn’t considered funny because it’s so true……

So will Ed still be lying on the grate through Saturday? Stay tuned and don’t miss the excitement.

So this is how Bathack tries to make Crankshaft look good—by making other people look despicable.

Are these kids so “social media” addicted that they have to send everything to X, Tik Tok, whatever, before they give Ed some help?

Good thing he’s not unconscious, bleeding, or otherwise seriously hurt. Today’s typical kids.

Is this supposed to be funny? Especially since this actually happens every day. I suppose next they stole his wallet.
