Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 07, 2023

Crankshaft has another good idea…..

They’ve started adding more strips to the archives. There are now 3 strips from Nov 2009

Some of us are still bitter about the “move common to the game” call.

Bengals fans are a bit bitter about the sudden coin flip rule change for playoff scenarios.

I’m for the five-second rule applying to football.

Crankshaft is beginning to look like the comic Tank McNamara with the story lines. Where are the other characters besides the immediate family? Or is this going to be it from now on.

Sure, like eight-year olds never argue about things.

So ends another weak week…

Without challenges, the networks wouldn’t employ ex-referees to interpret the rulings for the viewers, and, have less opportunity to shows ads, which pays for the rights to show the games.

Sadly, it’s officials who are not older than 5 that make the replay ruling. They are so afraid of making a correct decision as it might question the “integrity” of the infield official. Poppycock. Balderdash.

Cannot believe they aren’t snoring their heads off!

For once I agree with Crankshaft. If a play is understandable to the basic rules of the game to an 8 year old, it should stand.

OK is there no longer a Sunday strip or has GoComics “dropped the ball.” Which I suppose would be appropriate for this arc.

Where is the comic for Sunday, January 8th, 2023?

I thought Crankshaft had disappeared – glad to see it just moved to GoComics from the competing site.

Before Tom Batiuk’s retirement, didn’t “Crankshaft” usually have a Sunday strip?

I gather that Sunday Crankshaft is no more.

Haha! XD
