Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 22, 2023

No, Ed. In your universe, peas are served with hot dogs and nothing else. Not even buns.

“Leave off the ‘s’ there and you’ve guessed my secret ingredient.”

“No, with rabbit droppings! They’re the same shape, size and color as burned peas. Couldn’t you tell the difference?”

“Peas?! No, Ed! You’re confusing me with LENA, an entirely different old lady with glasses and no personality! Also, maybe the rum balls taste off because…Why are shoving THAT into your mouth?! That’s my special Thanksgiving bowl of dog food and camel poop that I give as a treat to my pet dung beetles!”

I dunno. Making a dessert with a lemon flavoured boozy drink doesn’t seem equivalent to making cranberry sauce (or relish, I guess) with peas, but what do I know.

My Mom’s recipe for Wonton soup : spring onions, wonton wrappers, chicken broth, pork sausage. But my Mom would use : regular white onions, egg noodles, beef bouillon cubes with water, and ground beef. So really, it is no longer Wonton soup, but beef noodle soup. Yet she called it Wonton soup….

How did that box turn into a bowl? And where did she magically appear from? Did she just get out of his shower? Sitting on that hair couch is a good way to ruin the shower, too.

I think Ed is a little “ticked”!!!!!!

Did she make everything for the meal? Are Jff and Pmm down at the theater?

And remember Ann Landers’ controversial recipe for meatloaf—-the key ingredient was Lipton powdered onion soup.

Actually, Ed, what you’re holding looks like a bowl of kibble.

She should have gone out and bought more rum.

That’s the big downer of traditions. If someone deviates, like Lillian did with her treat of rum balls (with hard lemonade), everyone puts it down and wants the original – without even giving it a chance!

i wonder if these two creeps were at the grassy knoll years ago ?

Would someone please tell me why the people who comment on the Crankshaft comic strip are so very much more critical of the artist than those who comment on any other strip?

Haha! (＾▽＾) Sometimes you gotta work w/ what you’ve got!
