   Schnikes! Death by impalement on a spike? How medieval. That is just about the last thing I ever expected to read in Crankshaft. I don’t know which is worse. That Skippity-Do-Dah brought it up, or that this Emily doesn’t even bat an eye upon hearing about it.

   Batty, did you miss a session with your therapist? Do you have some unresolved anger issues? Please, don’t skip your medications.

   Why is Emily there without Amelia ? Did she lose the coin flip?

   Or is twin sister Amelia the true loser who will have to shadow the mediocre cartoonist Batton Thomas in next week’s Crankshaft? (insert puke emoji)

   Stories we’d like to see, but the cartoonist lacks the skill:

   Best Actress Award Winner Les Moore sends Emily out on an alleged assignment to shadow Skip. He wants Emily to find out what Skip knows about the bookstore fires he set.

   I guess we’re supposed to feel some kind of sympathy for Skip. Is TB saying being a newspaper man is a thankless, lonely job? What happened to all the volunteers that were at the “Save the Sentinel” meeting a few years ago?

   TB scoffs at the idea of continuity.

   Where’s Amelia? I thought the double-mint twins had to do everything together.

   Let movie stars and male supermodels bridle at the sight of a true, desirable man. The noble comic book writer. /s

   Emily Reynolds? Isn’t this one of the Mathews twins? I’d like to know what this name change is all about, TB. Did Mopey Pete Reynolds finally get tired of waiting for Mindy to accept his proposal, he asked the underage Emily for her hand in marriage instead? They’re all undistinguishable blondes anyway so what’s the difference? Right?

   Most likely, much like Mopey Pete Reynolds/Roberts or Flash Freeman/Fairchild, TB has a hard time remembering his characters’ names. Is that the case Todd… I mean Tom?

   We leave the jocularity of recent Crankshaft strips to once again feature one of Batty’s favorite causes du jour, print newspapers. Let the stories featuring important issues (to the cartoonist) in a dull, ham-fisted manner commence.

    If the blond hair with the nose in the back is Jay, who is the person with the blond hair in the front? Is it Jimbo?
