Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Okay look iâm also a comics nerd. I get Bautikâs love of the medium and bringing it up. But thereâs two problems with it
1) He dosenât seem to have progressed past the silver age for whatever reason despite being perosnal friends with one of the bronze ageâs best writers and most punchable personaliteis and
2) This is just so BORING. Thereâs no drama, no tension, not reflection from Son in law of crankshaft and this is the first attempt at an actual joke in days. I dontâ mind bringing in the funky characters, I seem to be the only commenter at times who isnât against that. Bautik is bringing in ones who do make sense and the focus is often still on the Crankcast, choir week being the only exception. My problem is that none of them are really introduced and thatâs doubly an issue when you have new readres (raises hands) who just came in when this came to go comics and may not know the history of either strip like the back of their hand. I only know comics john and mopey pete from reading the comics curmudgeon. Bringing them in isnât a problem the problem is just NOTHING is happening. Good lord.
Ed has caused more than one fire at Jeffâs house? I know that it must be a running gag, but after the second fire, Iâd think that Jef, and, Edâs daughter wouldâve âencouragedâ him to move to a retirement home.
The fact that their insane father is continually burning, exploding, or soaking their house is a. A sign of dementia and b. Puts the entire family in extreme danger. Itâs not funny.
Now that the first quarter of âShaft 2023 is in the books, allow me to present a partial stat:
Strips so far this year with Ed and the guys at Dale Evans: 5
Strips so far this year with Ed and his co-workers at the Bus Garage: 7
Strips so far this year w/o Ed set at the Komix Korner: 10!!!
Also, has anyone explained why J*ff, if he cannot find many other place in the house to keep his treasured comic books, is selling them rather thanâŠoh, I dunnoâŠGIVING them to his son and grandson, who are right there with him!? Why not share your capes-and-tights obsession with future generations?
Lastly, can someone please fill Crazy Harry in on personal space?
Most deservedly so and he was probably responsible for fire department improvement bonds that increased fire protection throughout the entire town with the most modern of equipment. Thanks CrankshaftâŠâŠ.

Because Crank is an arsonist? Or just a fool?

Hmm. He sounds interesting. Maybe someone could do a comic strip about him.
