Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 11, 2025

You know, given that Batiuk writes these strips up to a year in advance, this is a rather unfortunate time for that particular punchline, considering the number of recent aviation incidents.

This is the 2nd day in a row of this Commie strip insulting President Musk! The FAA, who needs it? The planes all gonna come down somehow! Just like Space X rockets!

Interesting how the three speakers hand off delivering what’s ultimately a single sentence. They are now a hive organism, a single mind controlled by the mass of toxic black mold creeping down the walls.

On the bright side: panel two wasn’t an outside shot of the bus barn in a raging snowstorm.

On the not-so-bright side: tomorrow’s strip will be nothing but outside shots of the bus barn. In snow, sleet and rain, all at once.

True.

Can’t you just enjoy a comic?

Many states and communities were finding it hard to adequately fund education, even before the current administration’s plans to withhold federal funding from those schools that persist in DEI. Where will they find the money for these bonuses for the students?

Well Ed, any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

maybe they will bring back blimps as the transportation of choice

“…it’s either going to take off… or crash and burn.”

Nope. Since it’s something political, it’ll just keep circling until it runs out of fuel.

God, grant me the serenityto accept the things I cannot changethe courage to change the things I canand the wisdom to know the difference.

And to complete the “return to the past”, they’ll fill it with hydrogen, not helium.

Irrelevant side note: When my mother was a kid, she watched the Hindenberg fly over her house. Later the same day was its disaster.

No sillier than some other government proposals…..

I just decided that Crankshaft should take over NASA. He can put something in orbit much faster and cheaper than they can. BUT, Musk has already taken over it and moved everything to SpaceX. BTW, what is with his lunacy of calling everything “X”

You got it Cranky…attaboy!

Booooo…..!

We used “Crash & Burn” as our trivia name a few times.
