Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for August 21, 2023

Well, I’ll just gloss over today’s klunker of a “muddled aphorism” (as well as the strange body hairs in everyone’s coffee cups in Panel Two) and point out that the 8/21/23 ‘Shaft featured here is completely different from the 8/21/23 ’Shaft currently up on that other site that rhymes with “BarcaMax” (it’s another “Ed at the BBQ Grill” knee-slapper). What’s up with that?

Can he foresee this strip’s cancellation?

How enfeebled are they that they can’t prepare coffee and oatmeal at home?

I saw that one coming…

Foreseeing the future of their investments might come in handy

Deja =already, pré =before, vu =seen, already before seen. Crank probably picked up some French overseas during WW1.

Like Ed’s old bus driving through the diner?

It’s not as impressive as you think. He’s seen that in the future: Ed will crush a mailbox, Ed will make kids miss the bus, Ed will blow up his grill, comic books will be the focus of most people’s lives in the city, Pmm will say “What are you doing, Dad?” about 25 more times this year…

Yep exactly!

Did you ever think that you can see what’s coming because you’ve seen it all before?

Something like that.

Right on Cranky…right on!

maybe they should try a new diner I suggest nicks diner in rex morgans town

Not strange body hairs! That is steam off the coffee. sheesh!

Different strip in today’s newspaper - Ed is at the grill making copious amount of smoke

This comic is sort of a deja P.U.

With this development, their investments should start doing better.

We all did, back in 1951, when we saw the movie No Highway In The Sky.

Never had premonitions before but a visualized premonition is sort of above and beyond…..

Haha! XD
