Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for May 23, 2023

Just what the world needs — a dose of EdLax.

“Dad, that’s what the Dulcolax I hide in your oatmeal every other day is for!”

“Crankshaft”: Give Us One Week, We’ll Give You Six Cartoons About an Elderly Man’s Bathroom Regimen.

There is absolutely nothing in a newspaper these days that would relax anyone…

He’s definitely not reading the Washington or New York Post, New York or Los Angeles Times, Chicago or Star Tribune.

Any of those would make him so tight, he would need a month’s supply of Miralax.

ewww, TMI

Opinion page for inspiration.

You need more fiber in your diet.

I’d recommend a book. Easier to handle.

I wish I could say it’s hard to believe that Batiuk would dedicate an entire week to this topic.

Somewhat disgusting. And getting worse.

You’re joking, right?

Must be reading the comics……….

Makes sense to me.

A valid point at ‘that time of life’.

Spring for an I-pad Cranky.

My dad would take the newspaper to the bathroom and smoke a cigarette while reading it. He would be in there a long time. Result, hemorrhoids.

I would always take my kindle to the bathroom. Read a chapter of a book.

Reading the news section of a “major” newspaper relaxes you, Ed? Have you talked with a mental health professional lately?

And there you have it!

Must do his go comics reading routine there …

Get the tablet! It’s time you learned about online news!

Takes you mind off of “things”.

For many people, reading the newspaper in the morning, like coffee, is a laxative.

These days, the world is anything but “relaxing”.

Haha! XD
