Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for October 30, 2024

Okay, don’t whine that today’s strip lies on its side like a limp and dying jellyfish. Turn it so the ape is on top. Now imagine that he has dysentery and think of what that means for the panel beneath him.

Stop monkeying around and get serious with the stories.

Go bananas, I always thought the punchline was ape.

Well, until a few seconds ago I thought “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” was going to be the big guy’s nadir for 2024. Clearly, I was wrong.

Are they just shouting out titles and for some reason we’re seeing cover pictures? This is NOT how “writing a ghost story featuring the Pizza [Box] Monster” works! Today’s isn’t even a ghost story! Go back to the angry mob at Lillian’s bookstore, please!

C’MON, PBM!! FIGHT STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE AND THE SMURFS NEXT!

’Twas stupidity killed the beast.

Not all of us have laptops we can easily turn.

No complaining… but 3 days in a row…???

AAAAAUGH! Look like me gonna need neck surgery now. OWWWW.

Brobdingnagian. Now there a word me not often sees. Me not even knews word until me pal General was says bout it some months ago.

If this keeps up all week, there won’t be any point in doing Halloween decorating because it’ll be over.
