Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 27, 2023

And the Fire Dept, arrives in the nick of time. So they can save Ed the dumb a$$ once again.

Hahaha, it’s funny because he caused serious structural damage to the roof.

Umm, Max and Hannah, why are you both standing outside? Did you forget to check and see if your toddler son is still in the house?

Funny, I always thought Peppermint Patty would become a welder.

Their Home Owners policy must be murder !

Living in a Crankshaft wonderland.

Now that everyone is here, Ed should bring out the barbecue.

Why haven’t they made a law to keep that man away from anything that can make a fire?

What an insensitive, horrible thing to say to somebody who just had their house damaged by a fire.

With a roof fire, wouldn’t the firemen cut through the roof to see if it’s spread to the attic?

Now there will be even more ice

I’m thinking Crankshaft might try to lug a jackhammer up there for all of that

Could (should) a senior care facility be up for consideration?

And now they’ll have the very best icicles in town!

What a disappointment.

This isn’t funny. It’s redundant.

It seems that this story line appears at least once a year. In my opinion, it might of been funny the first time and maybe a second time, but not anymore.

Keep things fresh?

Ed Crankshaft starting a fire is pretty much the opposite of fresh.

The old flamethrower back lash

The old flamethrower trick…….back fires!

And like a cat has multiple lives, many more than nine however…..

Yep, keeping things fresh! Awesome they have to deal with the fire and water damage now. Partial roof replacement and whatever damage occurred to the attic and maybe even lower levels from all the water.

Would insurance pay off here?
