“In fact. I’m so bored with the whole thing my strip’s latest storyline is simply two geezers with increasingly irrelevant jobs sitting around a pizza parlor talking about how old and out-of-touch they are!”
Someone should do a comic strip about a guy doing a comic strip about a guy doing a comic strip about a guy doing a comic strip about a guy doing a comic strip
Where’s Crankshaft? It’s Saturday. He’s haggling for glassware at Yard Sales. He doesn’t buy any of the glassware, he just wants to see “how low they’ll go.”
This may look awful on the surface but there is a good life lesson here. The one thing you should always remember when sitting around talking about yourself: no one cares.
Let’s see. On Monday, Skíp didn’t even know Batton Thomas’ name. Skíp is not writing anything down or recording anything on a mobile device. Is Skíp really writing an article on Batton Thomas and Three O’clock High, or is he doing all this just to get a free lunch? The last time we saw Skíp in Montoni’s, Ed Crankshaft picked up the check and paid with the funds from his penny sock.
Skip: “My wallet is in my left rear pocket and I’m having trouble reaching it.” Skip strains and swivels in his chair like a dog chasing his tail.
Nothing is as good as it used to be. Whine moan complain. Oh, woe is poor ol’ T̶o̶m̶ ̶B̶a̶t̶y̶u̶k̶…. I mean Batton Thomas. What a miserable character. I bet people cross the street to avoid him when they see him approaching.
Westviewian: “Oh, no. Here comes ‘Old Miserable’, Batton Thomas. All he does is complain. Let’s cross the street before he sees us.”
Speaking of Old Miserable, has anyone seen DQ1 lately?
Well if it’s no longer lively I guess that’s your fault. And apparently Batton is not a fan of the pizza as he pushed the piece closer to Chip between P2 and P3.

The person speaking in the last panel must be Battiuk’s “self-portrait” of himself speaking as to why the “crankshaft” themes are so stale lately.
