Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 26, 2023

Pam, if you don’t like it, run your own business.

In that last frame Pmm has a hint of Lizard Lil in her stretched-out face. I hope that means some day soon she’ll start to show a hint of a personality.

“Next year, maybe they won’t be sold out of viable punchlines!” Yes, it’s another 7 panel Sunday that could be 3, and still not get anywhere near a joke that hasn’t been done to death for decades.

So, when is Pmm going to officially change her name to “What Are You Doing, Dad?”

Why does Pam ask “WATCHA DOIN’ DADDIO?” every time he’s doing something? What does he do all the other times? “Pam, I’m on the Dark Web again! Funny, this foreign website’s bags of bulk mulch sure look like black tar heroin!”

It’s not that bad yet, surely…nah.

I doubt the prices will be the same next year.

He should have shopped earlier and avoided the crowds. Try beasnsend/2025.

Typical Batiuk. It’s after Thanksgiving. Every exterior shot from now until April will feature snowflakes and/or snow covered ground.

Welcome to Northeast Ohio. The frozen tundra.

What about Cyber Monday?

How Internet sales work—another thing Batiuk doesn’t know.

There’s a Cyber Monday sale coming up.

Well…….that is planning ahead!!!!!!!

im sure jay leno would use this joke at a old folks home

of course

When did Pmm go blind? That’s about the only logical reason for her to constantly be staring right at him, in a position to easily read what’s on his screen, and still asking “What are you doing, Dad?”

I am waiting for Batiuk to reveal Pmm’s blindness in an interview with the New York Times.

Why is Pmm pinching the window in the first panel?

In order to stimulate the all important economy, I declare Black Friday and Christmas to be all year round. Shoppers, take your places at the starting gate.

Black Friday doesn’t really exist any more, at least not like it used to. Stores start running their Black Friday sales in September.

Black Friday has no meaning anymore. Every sale they have they say “Black whatever!”

Wouldn’t surprise me if businesses start doing that with the way they start going into Christmas earlier every year. Although, I have to admit, I did order a gift for a friend for next Christmas. I’d already gotten gifts for him this year but then I saw something he’d love. So I’ll save it for next year.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
