Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for September 17, 2023

They’re here to play a quick game of duck-duck-goose.

Better than a goose call. It’s that time again, already, for them to start heading south. Heard some last week.

Mr. Artist did do a nice job on the geese.

What lovely Canadian geese!

Someone is going to find this comic by searching “big ax old man honk goose” and be very disappointed. Or very much not.

Bean’s End was out of fertilizer?

For your information, Ed, I can blow my nose and it is a perfect Bb.

My backyard this morning.

Ed has been goosed.

\\//_

Maybe they will hire him at Bass Pro Shops!

what a fowl joke

Birds of a feather, Ed…

The geese are getting ready to leave our neighbourhood.

Honk if you like Crankshaft……….honk!

They don’t need much of a reason to meet a kindred spirit it seems….

Run, Ed. Run now. Canadian geese don’t take prisoners.

Cobra Chicken. RUN!

The geese have better manners.

Wait till you see the moose coming around the corner!

Funniest Crankshaft yet

And Ed without his shotgun!!!

Take a gander at that flock!

Panel 6…

The Shaft: I suppose you’re all wondering why I called this meeting…

It seems like we have those hosers for most of the year, eh?

Earlier I was going to comment about Mr. Crankshaft, an axe, a yard full of geese, and Sunday dinner, but I chose not to.

In my neighborhood, it is Sandhill Cranes and White Ibises that come wandering through your yard.

The Cranes have 100% adapted to people. They don’t run or fly away. They just Amble. If they are crossing the road when you are driving, you have to stop because they just Ignore cars.

Something similar and weird happened today. Huge buzzards landed in the street and then flew onto the roof of the house across the street. They were so enormous they looked like they would break it. It was a creepy sight. I would have preferred geese.

I’ve never been a “don’t say anything not nice” thinker, but this … is sweet. While it’s a mild joke, it is truly a joke, and far better than average for this strip.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
