Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 18, 2024

Oh no, did Crankshaft die yesterday?

This strip is but a shadow of its former self.

Cranky only appears now on Sundays in his own strip…

Only problem is Skip’s shadow resembles a well-water pitcher pump.

Are we to assume, then. that the town of Westview has no newspaper of its own, and the only place that the (thankfully still unseen) Lester Moore could send Grady Twin #1 was to Centerville’s one-man, one-room rag?

Whaaat? Why Goldilocks shadowing a old geezer like him? She want to stealing all his porridge or sometheeng?

C’mon, kid. Tabloids are much more interesting.

Yup, the U.S. is missing the fourth estate, the press. Without it, there is no one watching over the government.

That’s a huge safety pin holding up that sleeve.

Surprise, surprise! A Generic Blonde!
