Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 29, 2023

He’s selling them to Komix Korner? A retail store will pay him nothing even approaching the collectors’ market value. Why doesn’t he try selling them on E-bay first? Oh right, because we have to get more Comic Book John and Crazy Harry episodes into the strip. Hilarity will ensue!

Gee, I wonder which comic book shop they’ll be taking them to? I do so hope it’s the one we haven’t seen since last week!

Why didn’t Batiuk simply retitle the strip “Komix Korner Featuring Ed Crankshaft” when it switched distributors? It worked for the Golden Age Daredevil and the Little Wise Guys.

Have we forgotten that the attic will be totally flooded out by the end of the week?

Comics

The comic book (and comics in general, for that matter) has been becoming more and more adult and rotated and less and less willing to keep it okay-for-fsmilies since the 1970’s. I do not understand associating the comic book with kids that young when the industry has such a problem with keeping the comic book the staple of childhood that it was originally meant to be.

WARNING: The images there can be a tad mature.

If the kids take them to the shop1) The comics will never get to the shop2) The kids will abscond with the profits if they do sell them.

“I heard you were going to sell your comics. Here’s your son and grandson who might like them before you do…”

The drama in this storyline is amazing maybe crankshaft can go on a country music crusie

“Are you saying I need 3 people to carry this box?”
