Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 13, 2025

Didn’t all the prior strips in this week say that this is a pilot program that hasn’t been implemented yet?

Well, this is a thing that’s still going on.

Meanwhile…look, everyone! It’s Mrs. Johnson and her granddaughter, appearing for the first time in nearly a year! Hey, Mrs. Johnson! Maybe you should have shown Ed a little leg like you did to get him to stop back in September of ’23.

She didn’t miss the bus; Crankshaft, as usual, didn’t stop.

Isn’t this illegal? If not, should be…

Pay for attendance? You already paying for school doesn’t cha. Why paying extra now? It’s called paying?

Who puts ’Mrs" on their mailbox?

What great big square glasses you have grandma.

All the better to stereotype you with.

Is that Harry Dinkle in a wig and different glasses?

Thought students were getting paid to attend in that pilot program?

I wonder why the bus driver consistently refuses to pick up that little girl!

A school bus stops every two blocks.Start running,maybe you can catch it. Just don’t inhale the exhaust

You snooze……you lose!!!

this strip needs a charecter like lance telko

drizzle drazzle drazzle drone time for this one to come home

The kid did NOT miss the bus. The driver (you know who) saw a school aged child standing at the curb, and being the sick twisted old geezer that he is, just drove on by as he laughed.

Looks like the walk would do them both good.
