Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 05, 2023

Hey, look, everyone! The titular protagonist of this strip got to make a one-panel cameo appearance for the first time in a week! Hi, Ed!

Fun thing #1: Watch the plows block your driveway right after you finish shoveling it.

If you ban parking on all streets at the same time, where are people without driveways supposed to put their cars?

Ed thinking; “Can I drive a school bus down a ski run?”

According to Day by Dave, it’s National Weatherperson Day!

That reminds me of the WeatherTech commercial. Kids it’s a snow day, no school and then they run to the car to go sledding. Isn’t the point of the snow day to NOT have people driving around?

Weather Forecasting…. It’s probably the only job in the private sector where you can be wrong most of the time and not get fired..

Can they make up their minds? First they tell you to stay off the streets. Then they show you fun activities you can do, but you have to travel to do them.

There’s an oxymoron here somewhere.

This is transforming to Funky Winkerbean. Maybe he retired from the wrong one!

Ed’s thinking this might be a good day to practice making donuts in the school parking lot with his bus

here we go to shanillla with the news filler sponsered by vanilla wafers

This is absolutely the TRUTH. Back during the COVID thing a couple of years ago, they did the same thing. First they would give 15 minutes of the DEATH virus – PLEASE stay HOME!!!! – then they would do a segment on everything to do in the upcoming days/weeks: The RV SHOW!! The Waterpark!!! etc…

Batiuk just got done showing the whole town driving through a massive snowstorm to attend a senior citizen performance of the Messiah.

Where is Dr. George Fishbeck when we need him?

Um how are ppl supposed to go do those fun winter things if they’re not allowed to drive? Not many ppl are gonna walk that far in a blizzard!

For a minute I thought Phyllis suddenly became black in the final panel.
