Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 14, 2023

Shoulda listened to the weather reports that everyone mocked last week.

Ice sculptures are now snow ghosts.

Don’t worry. Ed Crankshaft will use the exhaust on his bus to blow the snow off the sculptures, then he’ll back up the bus and run over them like he does with Keesterman’s mailbox.

Not only is it cold enough, the snow has buried all the sculptures.

I know cartoons are submitted weeks ahead. In reality, the temperatures in Ohio are way above normal this week, so they would all be puddles by now.

Crankshaft is missing!

Well known last words.

These last two strips are making me wonder why the bus was there the other day .

Is it just me, or does the reporter look like she has elf ears?

Let Crankshaft fix it with his flamethrower…..

Yes, because the more it snows, the colder it is!

I once had a job in Ohio. It lasted about 9 months. It generally involved driving a bit over 200 miles every day, servicing customers. While I worked there, I found out the guy who had my job before me had Quit after his company car slid off the road and down a 20 foot slope during a snowstorm.

So, one morning I woke up and the ground outside was all covered in fluffy white.

I went in to work that morning and informed my boss that I was moving back to Florida in 2 weeks.

Haha! XD
