Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 19, 2023

“This ‘Black Raven’ comic is pretty rare…so let me continue to handle it outside of any plastic bag or sleeve with the hand I was just using to eat my lunch, a spinach, anchovy, and garlic pizza from Montoni’s downstairs. What’s that? They closed up last year? That depends…what year are we supposed to be in now?”

Shouldn’t he check it for condition first before promising her that? He could open it up and find pages torn or stained or missing.

When did they decide to change this strip from Crankshaft to this stupid Lillian character? It’s all about her now

Nice positioning of the pow poster in 3rd panel. sale price split just hit her.

I’ll take the profits, split 50-50

Notice how Ms. McKenzie " woke up" at the mention of the possibility of “thousands?”

Money does talk sometime….

Or he could rip her off.

I’ll take some money if you insist.

Lillian McKenzi: Dumb. But not so dumb.

Now, however will Shaft manage to destroy the comic before they can sell it?

SO! When can we expect a quick resolution to this failing storyline?

We’re in the money

He may have already done that off panel.

Haha! XD
