Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 14, 2025

At long last Crankshaft gets a lightning bolt where the sun don’t shine!

You don’t own an extendable “kitchen grabber,” Ed? Tsk tsk. I’m sure Bean’s End sells one for garden usage.

and he’s going to start the car … how?

My pickup tools get a lot of work. I have 5 of them hanging where they are most useful.

This is good news for the schoolchildren that ride his bus. Now whoever fills in for him will actually pick them up instead of intentionally ditching them.

Pretty accurate here. Except for the stream of cursing missing between panel one and two.

He needs one of those grabby thingies

What Ed needs right now, besides a Chiropractor, is a grabber, or, his family, to pick up his keys for him.

batiuks parents were successful pharmacists but they ignored him because they were always fighting . his revenge was to tell real bad jokes and somehow get paid

Been there…

A handy tool for that is a long telescope like thing with a magnet used to pick up lost screws and such.

If he’d dropped a cookie he’d try bending over

That gonna save a lot of gas!!!!

Hey, Danny Boy?

If a doorknob is on the right-hand side of a door, the door is generally pulled open, rather than pushed!

The streets of Centerville will be safe for the next month.

That’s what long-handled grabbers are for ;-)

WOW two weeks with Cranky

Use Life Alert and have the paramedics get your car keys.
