Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 06, 2024

I’m delighted to watch Pmm’s mood swing. It’s the only movement in this strip.

“You know what surprises me? He tries to run over schoolchildren, regularly explodes things and cause big fires, but he’s not doing 25 to life!”

And what’s the point of this?

Where’s that old guy that always wears the red hat and jacket who eats too many rum balls!?

We should be used to the old curmudgeon by now.

Smirk alert! Smirk alert!

What Pam says is true. We really aren’t surprised at most anything Ed does.

Always wondered why Ed and Lily never got together.

next week more pizza or maybe snow shoveling ?

“What surprises me, is that you take your coffee without milk or sugar! Yuck!”

If the strip annoys some of you commenters so much, why do you bother reading it? And why do you feel you have to share your annoyance with those of us who don’t share your feelings?

Time moves in one direction, Crankshaft in another.

Guess Tom ran out of raccoon humor and needed a filler day to end the week.

This strip is like a party where you don’t have to wait to fill your cup with a fruity and hopefully spiked beverage.

That’s right, there’s no punch line.

What should surprise most is anything Cranky might do that does not involve emergency response or national defense agencies.

Please wipe those spiderwebs off the wall
