Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 15, 2025

“At last I’ll never forget to answer invitations again!”

My wife says RSVP when she refers to the shot.

I just recovered from RSV virus. It took me 3 weeks to bounce back.

What that some kinda new RSVP virus?

“Gotta run”? …. More like “Got the runs”…

“I have an appointment to get my RSVP shot.”

1) Why? Did it miss a loan payment?

2) I wish you many happy returns.

I had mine months ago, doctor recommend

After what I went through with that covid jab, no more new vaccines for me. Everyone has to die of something, and I’m okay with that.

Update – good week:

68-34-11

Don’t be late, Ed.

this joke is #1 at the nursing homes this week

Hey Crank…..glad you remembered!!!!

Excellent, forget about all those other story lines.

Ed you will never be Norm Crosby, just a confused old man.

We know Ed ends up a non verbal invalid. Coincidence?

Better do it now before Kennedy bans them!

ha! that’s what i called it too!

No, no… Krankus is not going to the doctor. He just noticed they’ve been hanging around Dale Evans long enough that the bar’s open, and he’s got a daily appointment for a couple shots of Real Special Very Pale Cognac.

Say what you will about Ed, but he’s got taste in booze. ‘Course he’d probably show up for his namesake comic more often if he didn’t guzzle the stuff like a Skid Row wino…
