Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for May 04, 2023

Hahaha, it’s funny because he doesn’t care that people may die.

Well Ed, looks like it’s time to get out the gasoline!!! (It’s a POW, JJ)

RIMSHOT!

At least he is not flipping out over this.

Would you like to see how it’s done?

Come out to the back yard and I’ll show you

The new grill is bigger, it should make quite an impact

It’s funny that people think a 30 pound grill, at any speed, will affect the course of an umpty-million ton asteroid enough to matter.

A pretty grill is like a melody.

oh this hot one

But Ed, you have caused the destruction of humanity unless NASA can come up with a plan!

Ya know, whenever I start thinking that the Gasoline Alley story arcs are getting a bit too absurd, I simply remind myself that Crankshaft still exists.

He’s burnt up about this.

Batiuk seems to continue to get grief for c losing another cartoon. Get a life.

If a back yard grill launched into space is enough to alter the course of an asteroid, then it must be a pretty small asteroid to begin with which means it will burn up on entry to the Earths atmosphere long before it hits the ground. So at the end of the day, its a non-event. So his reaction is spot on with “meh”….

C’mon, reporters, give Ed a thorough grilling. I’ll pay for the charcoal.

Official thumbs down rating today and the arc. Any seconds?

OUCH! Apt (non intential?) pun.

Woh woh wohh!

“How do you feel about” is the go to question when you don’t have a question.

Considering the impending bad Earth outcome, that was a particularly coaled response.

“How do you know that’s MY grill up there?”

Haha! XD Nice pun!
