Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 04, 2023

Gotta say I agree with the sentiment in panel three. Every January/February over in “Winkerbean” a week or two would be dedicated to an unfunny and microscopically targeted Ohio Music Educators Association convention angle featuring Harry L. Dinkle, TWGBD. Now here we are in the ’Shaft, and…

A Waylon Smithers cameo? Well, why not? Only one more ignoble and out-of-touch than Mr. Burns is Batiuk.

Looks like both band-its are having strokes.

I wonder what this guy used to do for a living?

He’s retired. What possible good does it serve for him to sit through these panels?

“Fundraising in the internet age!” Now he can just ship his turkeys direct!

An excellent example of anapodoton.

What kind of robes are they buying that they have to fundraise every year for new ones? Are they paper gowns like you wear at the doctor’s office?

And unless you’re going all out, choir robes are something like $20. Not exactly breaking the bank.

After a week of cutting and pasting Chuck Ayer’s “Funky Winkerbean” artwork, it looks like Dan Davis has taken a shot at drawing Dinkle himself.

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.

It’s the voices, not the robes. Checkout so many Churches on Sunday, It’s also the soldiers, not the uniforms. Checkout the Afghan Militia or the Viet Cong from years back…..

Bathack is somewhere in deepest, darkest Ahia, cackling madly: “So you thought you were done with Flunky Wankerbean characters when I retired that strip? Fools!”

You don’t really need “new” robes, just hem the 1s you already have.
