Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for April 09, 2023

I hope Ed doesn’t hear that. It would inspire him to order a breakfast of Hamlet and Eggs.

Hey I resemble that remark !

Hmmmmmm.

Wait! The NOT retired Crank gets to use a school bus for personal transport? Batty must have forgot about that,just to use a failed pun.

It’s amazing how every town has a group of ROMEOs who think they invented the phrase. My father’s ROMEOs group met for lunch every Tuesday.

Last panel. Crank tries to read his termination notice.

RomeoS! The S stands for “server!”

So Ed can just run personal errands on his bus?

I find it interesting that old Cranky eats lunch with the very man whose mailbox he crushes everyday.

Do they actually order anything besides coffee?

Yeah, don’t all bus drivers get to use a school bus as their personal vehicle? Makes sense to me. Where does he park it" On the street in front of his house? Or does he drive to the bus yard and take the bus from there. So many questions? So few answers!

Yes! Finally some BRICKS!

I wonder if the server gets tired of being Leared at by the Romeos. Or just figures it’s Much Ado about Nothing.

Dale Evans – funny!

pancakes or waffles or not to be

There is a place like that here (I am not sure any more) it’s a donut shop.

Not the first time Ed has stolen the school’s bus for his own personal use. Besides all the other crimes he’s committed with it, you’d think he’d be locked up by now.

I hear there’s a group of them meeting in a medium sized city southwest of Chicago. That’s right… ROMEO in Joliet!

In the next life young lady, when these men will be at their prime again, would you want to t have these hard working, brave war heroes as a Romeo wanting you or what loosely passes for so-called masculinity today among so many of the males in our society?……

Years ago, I read for the first time about a group of men who called themselves the ROMEOs. Each week, they rode their motorbikes (similar to MoPeds) to different restaurants.

I think I’m going to barf

It’s more like Rancid Old Men Emitting Odors.

our group is actual from Rome, Ohio!!

Was Crankshaft always a school bus driver, or was that something to suppliment retirement? Do we know what else he has done?

Haha! XD
