Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 06, 2023

Lots of good words possible.

hey cranky, welcome back to your own comic

Every Sunday it’s neason the floor!

Gawd..

I went through an filing cabinet drawer a few weeks ago and found a lot of old crud like that I didn’t need

Now I have half a drawer for new crud

Great, a week filled with mangled language. Batty’s stock in trade.

When a friend of my wife’s referred to me as a banned word (read on and you can guess) she quickly explained that she couldn’t decide between pussycat and puppy dog. My wife immediately adopted this as my nickname; but to avoid misinterpretations it is usually shortened to The PD.

Every portmanteau was invented by someone.

“Dad, do you want a live cremation, or electrocution?”“Can I have cremacution?”

Why does the space between lines disappear? (see above)

Cleaning out the junk drawer, so they can put new junk in it?

Just toss it, it’s probably expired.

Atta boy Crankshaft…………

They are always adding new words to the Oxford English Dictionary. Neason would be a good one to add in 2023.

I wanted to say “the umbrella obliterated my view” of something the other night at a restaurant with my husband, and I said,“my view was umbliterated”! We’re making up Sniglets.

Man, Funky Winkerbean sure has let himself go… wait a minute. That’s not Funky! We have an Ed Crankshaft sighting!

Glad to see he saved his best for his return from exile.

The question is, did he ever RTFM?

And what was the “neason” for today’s strip?

Haha! XD He sounded like he had a stuffy nose! Might be a good time to get a new dehumidifier!
