Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for August 03, 2024

What?! I beat the regulars here? Now I forgot what I was going to say!

Grilling out how many nights in a row now? You’d think the neighbors would complain…

He needs to buy a gas grill. Maybe an indoor smokeless grill. I’m sure the fire department would chip in.

Going to be smoked reporter before long.

My grill is controlled by an app, but I cannot get past the reCAPTCHA proof I am not a robot.

Okay. Me is like this one.

He’s using tires for fuel, everything is going to taste like burned rubber anyway. Not to mention they’re breathing toxic fumes.

Well lady, you asked!

I wish this stupid platform would let us comment with stickers, emojis, and pictures..

Wow. Not one but two weak punch lines today, either of which could have ended an acceptable joke if given a proper set-up.

Since when do you grill smoked salmon?

Isn’t salmon smoked so that you don’t have to cook it? People smoke salmon on the grill, but I don’t think people grill smoked salmon. “I’m smoking salmon” might have worked just as well.

Probably something about the FD and the EPA being on the way.

I think this is the point where this strip “jumped the shark”. Crankshaft’s grilling has become ridiculous.

Better stay away from that guy. He has a mouthful of smoking gums.

I love salmon, but I don’t think I’d want this.
