Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for September 15, 2023

Where’s Crankshaft?

Man, that’s gonna have Claudette Colbert rolling over in her grave!

Welcome to Batiuk Theater. We’re watching “It Happened One Blight,” starring Snark Gable!

Ahhh, I can’t see, now,. crash.

Granny knows Ed way too well.

All that talk and Ed drives off without the girl.

Ew.

And that’s the last time her mother let Grandma take her daughter to the bus stop.

Eeewwww.

Grandma must have a death wish, standing beside the mailbox like that.

Is this the next day? It isn’t raining.

That was dumb, to say the least.

….it is not blue comedy…..she did not get above the knee.

What the ?? Utterly bizarre follow up to the rest of the weeks strips.

She’s no Claudette Colbert but she does know what she’s doing…..

Claudette Colbert she’s not!

go join a bookclub grandma

The kid said, not really, let’s go back inside.

Heh. I actually wondered the other day if this wasn’t the start of a new romance for Ed.

Argh! My eyes, my eyes ! I can’t unsee this!

out of sequence?

TCM viewers should get this reference. Gable and Colbert in “It Happened One Night.”

I don’t get it. Ed literally stopped for the kid “yesterday”, in the pouring rain, and Granny thinks she has to lure him to stop today?

Claudette Colbert approves

You all may be surprised. When you get older, your contemporaries tend to still look good to you.
