Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 17, 2025

PLEASE MAKE THIS STORYLINE END I BEG OF YOU

At least you can make a comment here. Most of the comics in my feed have no comments at all today!

DALE Evans? After both the BOB Evans, and, Roy Rogers resturant chains went out of business?

I am enjoying this storyline

This is NOT what I expect in a comic strip.

Batty is a sadist.

I love this. You guys are a tough crowd.

There will be enough material to make the newspaper 70 pages long by the time Batton’s life story is complete.

…..or an ole fart!!

I love this origin story.

Grampa read the comics to us in German!

i’ll have a dozen bagels

two little indians left all alone what do they do for fun (no translation ) go go gophers watch them go go go

Tomorrow: Dale Evans burns to the ground after the Hindenburg-size word Zeppelin from panel two crushes it and bursts into flames.

But where’s Tom’s—I mean, Batton’s—cup of hot cocoa? How can anyone read the komix without hot cocoa?

Man cannot live by bread alone, no matter how warm and buttered!

Somebody warn Lakehurst—the Hindenburg is back in town!

I’m sure Tooter Turtle became a cook—he’s clearly baked.

Batiuk, you made the wrong choice.

Think of all the suffering that would have been avoided if he’d become a baker…

… since, I discovered that I had no idea what a “Baker’s Dozen” was, or the difference between a pinch, dash, hint, shake, or smidgen.

The deciding factor, I could not tell the difference between baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, or yeast; and put my family in the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.

We stepped back for a minute and fell off the edge.

“…And after that, my dad always called me Pumpernickel!” SKIP: “You know in German, pumpernickel means ‘f@rting devil’.” Batton pauses, thinks; f@rts. “That’s my mother’s fault.”

OH GOD PLEASE NO NOT BACK TO THIS CRAP

If he were a baker and a cartoonist, he could write a book called Eating Between the Lines.

Too many words.

Word zeppelin

Say, I wonder how Ed is making out at the Komix Korner?
