Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 08, 2024

Hahaha, it’s funny because Lena is putting school kids’ lives in danger by hiring an unlicensed driver.

No, it’s funny because it is a c-o-m-i-c strip – Not real life! LOL…

Crankshaft is a school bus instructor ?

Good grief, really??? This isn’t funny, it’s criminally dangerous.

So outta jail bikers gonna driving school bus now? Sure riding big steenky bikes and driving big steenky bus is the same theeng see. It’s called driving! Vroom! Vroom!

Despite the viewpoints above, this actually is how it’s done in a great many places. Metro and school bus companies typically hire commercially unlicensed folks, train them and get them licensed before they ever get to carry people or especially children. Even though I have a CDL I still had to complete a training program to drive a school bus part time. I wouldn’t worry about him being a biker either as they tend to be strong advocates for children.

We use to call our police courtesy cards ‘get out of jail free’ cards.

There’s one School Bus route with well-behaved Kids !

Well why not, they hired Ed after all.

Whoa! Time out! You can’t be THAT desperate for bus drivers!

BORN TO BE WILD!!!!!

Way to go playing up the biker stereotype…

I don’t think this could happen as a bus driver but he probably could qualify to be a substitute teacher.

No, it’s not close enough!

“hard up”……both parties!!!!!

nothing to see here people move it along

All of our local school bus companies offer paid training

What we don’t see in panel two is that the “get out of jail free card” is actually a Centerville Police Department ID, and the applicant is a member of the force (you might be surprised how many police are motorcycle riders) and is volunteering to drive school buses on his days off.

We don’t see that, of course, because there is no Centerville PD clip art in the Crankshaft Reusable Art Portfolio.

When you enlarge it, the card appears to be an actual get out of jail free card from a Monopoly game.

However, get the license before you can start…..

Driving a school bus requires a special license, not just a commercial license.

It’s funny because Lena is enabler who doesn’t give a fig about her job and children’s welfare—or anybody else’s.

the wheels on the bus go round and round as long as you dont drink on your route you can get hired in this town

Not funny….just plain stupid!

Just the image the school bus company wants. This guy looks like he should be a cast member on Sons of Anarchy.

I’d hire him! Many of my friends don’t dress societys standards, but the their integrity is impeccable.

At last… something that could be interesting.

It’s sad because that’s what this country is coming to.
