Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 02, 2023

Well, that certainly moved the story along, didn’t it? Although it does point out why Mindy couldn’t have written Lizard Lil’s bio; she adds unnecessary phrases like “of sugar” to her sentences.

Meanwhile, let’s give a great big “C’Shaft” welcome to the latest “Funky Winkerbean” refugee, “Mopey Pete” Roberts, who demonstrates how the progeny of Emo Phillips and Droopy Dog would have looked! You Go readers may not know this, but there was a time when this strip focused on a guy named Ed Cranskhaft and his friends and co-workers.

my “big lump of sugar”?! barf.

Thanks … That’s why you’re in my friend zone!

Barf.

Big eyes, and sugary phrases. Me thinks that someone is wrapped around her little finger.

aw

If he’s a halfway decent comic book writer, based on what Lillian did to her sister, he’ll turn this bio into a super-villain origin story.

Cute.

Utter boredom.

More Crank, less Funk.

Love, the fortunate ones of us were, and still are there.

More crank and less funky

Let Lillian write her own bio. No one’s going to read it, anyway.

A person who has at least two book published can’t write their own bio and doesn’t already have one written?

The soap opera comics are really packing the action today

Or you’re my lump of clay.

Lile the pineapple computer

She could have left off the “of sugar” part and been far more accurate. Considering the comic he’s from, probably a cancerous lump.

Man, this comic drags whenever Batiuk decides to feature Lillian and her incredibly dull book-authoring exploits. Hey, Ed! The Village Booksmith could use the gentle kiss of your flamethrower. I’m sure Lillian’s insured.

I’m dreading the day whenever Batiuk decides to make Lil’s bookstore the Centerville branch of the Komix Korner or makes it a seller of Atomik Komix. Agree with many of the commenters here. Let’s keep the Winkerbean invasion of Crankshaft down to a reasonable level.

Lump of something, all right..

Enter Peter “Mopey McMopester” Reynolds (btw, the nickname originally came from the Comic’s Curmudgeon)
