Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 14, 2023

“No, I mean that when I try to look at you, I develop a case of hysterical blindness!”

Funny, I thought the doctor would toe-tag him.

Dude, you landed on D-Day in 1944. In strip time, you’re canonically about 107 years old. Oh, crimeny, it’s another of TB’s pointless time skips, right? 40 years vanished without a thought, never to be remembered by the writer again.

Umm, those aren’t cards, Ed. They’re trying to tie a toe tag on you.

“Thanks for the information, Ed. It’s not as if I looked at your profile, or anything. Say, let me see if I have any 18-gauge needles lying around anywhere…”

I love it. My dad had a good sense of humor too.

I may look old, but I am.

“Hey Doc, have you ever heard of Lisa’s Story? Because you look a lot like Lisa!”

The only card they’re looking at is your Medicare card, Crankshaft. And that’s because they know you wouldn’t be here if someone else wasn’t paying for your shot.

(the doctor gives Crankshaft the shot and Crankshaft keels over dead)

Thanks for the reminder, Crank……..they did look at your card, remember????

I didn’t know there were stronger flu shots.

the guy who runs the newspaper may have dementia he couldnt decide which arm to get the shot

Cranky gets carded at the doc’s office….the credit card!

“I get carded at the doctor’s office all the time.”

That’s not what they mean by an electrocardiogram.

If vanity was fatal, Ed would be long dead.

A little late to be asking for the stronger dose, as she is already injecting him.

Stevie Wonder never knew by looking at him either

Haha! (＾▽＾)
