Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for April 20, 2023

Well, that went south quickly.

She wrote for a niche crowd. Could end up being a cult classic.

“New” book? She’s been a published author now for at least a couple of years, hasn’t she? And isn’t Murder at the Book Club her first book?

How obvious. How unfunny.

Boring!!

Murder at the American Booksellers Association by Isaac Asimov?

“Yes. I can read.”

“My next book is going to be ‘Murder at The Book Fair!’”

We were reading ‘Take the Cannoli’ by Sarah Vowell. The hostess PROMISED us cannoli for dessert, but instead served canned peaches with cottage cheese. That’s justifiable homicide, am I right?

You’d think murder has been an overkill, lately. But Batty is tone deaf! Put an end to thoseweak and unfunny murder book puns!

“No. It’s a collection of rolling papers. Today is 4/20 after all.”

The real title is “The Murder of the ‘Crankshaft’ comic strip.”

It’s not really a mystery when everyone beat Les Moore to death with copies of “Lisa’s Story”.

Haha! XD
