Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 22, 2024

Okay, who else is having nightmares about chicken legs tonight?

It’s a lucky thing for the readers that Jff has short-term memory problems, or Pmm wouldn’t have an excuse to remind us of what happened two weeks ago.

What if you’re walking past a fire hydrant and you have to go?

AW SO COOL A THIRD WEEK OF THIS!

Jeff is that clueless that he has to ask Pmm where Ed is?

I wonder if the physical therapist will tell the doctor about the blood stains on his boxer shorts.

Just do what the nice lady is telling you, Ed.

Ah, yet another new character having her day ruined by Mr. Sunshine.

Where’s Harry Dinkle?

Maybe take up Salsa lessons.

I assume those are “boxers”!!!!

just go out and buy some savory baked goods enjoy

So his school bus doesn’t have a clutch?

OMG! My eyes. my eyes!

Today’s beady-eyed nitpick: every physical therapist I have ever worked with (and, having had hip replacement, collapsed discs, two rotator cuff repairs, etc., in my 70 years, I have worked with a lot of them) wore scrubs or similar medical type clothing. Ed’s “therapist” looks more like an exercise leader at a trendy gym. My guess is that the Crankshaft Reusable Art Pantry didn’t contain such an image, so Davis is recycling some old “Funky” clip art from one of the “Funky and Les go to the gym together” arcs.

Are we in Hawaii??

This guy doesn’t exercise under NORMAL circumstances. You’re going to have to bribe him.

I did that in physical therapy when I had my hip replaced,

That exercise should be done while holding onto stabilizing bars to help someone of Crankshaft’s age to maintain balance.

And, we can go years not having to see those shorts.

Upon first glance, I thought Ed’s pants were down around his ankles.

Therapist: Mr. Crankshaft! Please! Pull up your pants. That’s not the type of therapy I deal with!
