Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 06, 2025

“You’re all washed up, Harry!”

Heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack, heart attack…

Ah, yes, now this is what readers come to “Crankshaft” for: flashbacks to old or imagined “Funky Winkerbean” stories starring Harry L. Dinkle. Who needs appearances by the old codger in the red jacket and baseball cap?

“Building the Ark will give you a heart atack-tack-tack-tack-tack” (With apologies to Billy Joel)

Harry ark, like this arc will sink like a lead anchor.

Here comes the flood of cancellations from newspaper editors.

Let’s hope that this “ark” doesn’t last for 40 days and 40 nights. Pray that Harry’s rain is short.

Boring…
