Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for November 29, 2024

A competent pun? Look around, and if you find somebody left a ransom note for Batiuk, hide it!

It’s identifiable as a joke. A Dad joke Brevity might use, but certainly joke-adjacent. At least he’s wearing his hat. Yesterday’s strip made me think he’d start singing “We represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild!”

Maybe it’s the tryptophan talking, but Ed’s punchline today was actually amusing and seemed like something he would say as a deliberate pun. Thumbs up.

I do my comic bashing over at Harley, I like crankshaft as it’s always been up-to-date

Beautiful Ed! Best one yet.

Someone had to write this for Batty

That’s pretty darn good.

Another classic Ed spoonerism

let me guess the players nickname was butterfingers

Pretty good pun, Ed!!

That Crank….always quick on the trigger!

If only someone would write a ransom note for all you trolls! LOL…

That has to be the first time Ed has made one of his comments that actually makes sense

Compliments to Batiuk and/or Davis for a good play on words.

Cue the Rim Shot Monkeys.

Congrats to the Argos for their 19th Grey Cup win. Against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers they are 8-0 in the Grey Cup. And congrats to the Bombers. They had a heck of a year. Starting the season at 0-6 and eventually taking 1st in their division and winning the West Final for their record tying 5th consecutive trip to the Grey Cup.

if Yogi Berra were alive to read this, he’d be rolling over in his grave

… this has been your Black Friday Shopping News Update … we take you back to your game about to start.

Clunky dialogue leading to a punchline that makes Crankshaft sound like Alzheimer’s patients.

I think this is the first time in a long time that Crankshaft had a good joke

Cranky’s here and it’s not even a Sunday…
