Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 26, 2024

So he’s finally going to pay for all those smashed mailboxes and weaponized grilles?

You know, that quip of Ed’s was…pretty good. Even more impressive since he seemed to know what he was saying this time. My second “B” grade in four days; wear it well, Batiuk.

Smoking… One nasty, filthy habit that I’m glad to say I never picked up.

Eh. Me theenks me better quits smoking… Cough cough…again.

Ralph is “paying for all of that smoking”? He’s got cancer now, doesn’t he? Are we going to be treated to decades of “Ralph’s Story”?

(On the other hand, Ralph, maybe smoking will act as a vaccine against dementia, since it apparently can cure it like with Mort Winkerbean.)

Is that meal free?

Today would be Leonard Nimoy’s 93rd birthday. But he was a 3 pack a day smoker for 30 years. He quit and his lungs did indeed heal. And then 30 years after he had quit CPOD decided to pay a call. LLAP _\\//

Eww, looks like Ed sucked all the whipped cream off his waffle piece mid-sentence. Have a little class for once, Ed!

…….and cost you a lot!!!!!!

My mom was a 2 pack a day smoker from the time she was 15 until she quit at about 30. In her early 80’s she had a series of health issues. After extensive testing she was diagnosed with late stage cancer that had spread throughout her body. The doc told her that it started in her lungs from smoking and then spread. She was given about 30 days to live. She told the doc, “I quit 50 yrs ago.” He told her the damage was already done. She refused any further medications or treatments and 4 days later, joined my dad in heaven.

Tobacco in any form, chew, smoke, vape, Kills.

theres teenagers in milford that will sell you vape

Hopefully his family won’t get cancer from the secondhand smoke.

Wow!! Sage advice from the Crankshaft!

Hmm. Smoking’s bad. M’kay?

Ah,yes,remember the 1950’s when doctors said certain brands of cigarettes were more soothing for your throat than the competition’s?
