Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 08, 2023

They’re beside the kitchen thingma jigs

Dementia Manor, here he comes.

“I like to suck on a couple of them while I’m watching the football game! Say, why am I foaming at the mouth?”

He’s about to start another one of those challenges…..

If Ed is thinking of running the dishwasher, I would be worried about what he put in it

It’s nearly gardening season, that Beans End equiptment doesn’t clean itself

I choked on my coffee on this one!

Well the similarity in appearance of those pods to candy (in the minds of young children,) is why the packaging is supposedly child proof. (at times, it might be adult proof.)

Hide this kind of dishwasher soap because many small children think IT IS candy. Not surprising the way the product looks so tempting for them.

After he eats one….his has a bubbly personality?

I remember Crankshaft when he was Funky Winkerbeans bus driver. I’ve been away from this strip for a while, is Ed less cranky now?

What?

This one I don’t get. What is he talking about? Is this a product that I am not familiar with?

The basic fault with this one is that Ed would never do the dishes…

Haw haw. Did Crankshaft fall for the Tide pod challenge?

The pessimist in me says we should enjoy these Crankshaft one-off strips while we can. I suspect another godawful multi-week arc featuring Lillian and comic books will start on Monday. May God have mercy on our souls.

… and never refer to medicine as ‘candy’ to your kids.

As a kid I can’t remember this, but I’d ask an adult—in this accent—“Gutta Pissa Kendih?” Where did I pick up that accent at 4 or 5?

What are they waiting for? Why haven’t they committed him yet?

Is it bad that I knew what brand he was talking about when I read that? LOL

Not a place I’d hide my chocolate covered cherries!

That would be me. I always forget the word “scale”,and end up saying “weight thermometer”.
