Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for July 01, 2024

Come on, Min-dull, pour a little steak sauce on him and he’ll be perfectly dressed for the occasion!

“Off we go, into the wild blue yonder…”

The Fire Department has been alerted.

Family tradition!

Let him help Ed light the grill!

So did these two sold that Monotony pizza joint already or they shut it down because nobody else would wanna buys it? These two was the only peoples working in their own pizza joint. Where does they even get time to goofing off like this?

Mission control.. the Weber has landed.

Can’t have a 4th of July without fireworks

Alert the FAA

C’mon, Min-dull, induct your fiance into the family by letting him light the fire. Sing along—"Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match . . . "

I thought that they would’ve built a bunker by now !

Maybe this time he’ll bring down the space station.

Time to prep the ’ol bomb shelter.

Where’s "Where’s Crankshaft this morning?

As much as I would love a week of Cranky grilling, I get the feeling, since we were at Dale Evans yesterday, this is another week of “one offs providing the contractually obligated amount of Crankshaft-themed strips” before we return to Jffs homunculus, xomix books, and that stupid Starbux Jones nonsense.

Love the confidence on Crankshaft’s face.

Breaking out the grill! Now that’s the Cranky we all love/hate.

The 4th is coming…..the 4th is coming…….

Not this garbage again. Crankshaft is stupid. So is this strip.

Maybe this time the exploding grill will land on Keesterman’s mailbox.

The father from FOX TROT is coming over to make SURE everything gets destroyed

They don’t cook as creative as Crankshaft! is he back?

maybe pizzabox monster can add some grease strips and the grill ends up where the phantom lives so he has two things to investigate

Maybe mopey Pete will get clocked in the face with the grill when it explodes… Would certainly help his looks..

Alert the fire and police, and the hospitals. It’s Crankshafts first barbeque of the summer.
