Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for March 17, 2023

“Old Men Yell at Clouds” (And yes, “Old Man Yells at Comic”).

And demeanor they are, demeanor they get.

I blame the internet

Bad behavior isn’t punished online

People forget they aren’t hiding behind a user name and their internet personalities are bleeding over into real life

Crank’s false teeth fell into his cup of treacle.

Now this is a real crankshaft strip !

Demeanor it is, demeanor it gets.

It all started with “Participation Trophies”

Nailed it!

And it’s quite demeaning.

Emphasis seems to be on mean nowadays…..

A whole year of being quarantined didn’t help!

Crankshaft should know!

That’s pretty big talk from a guy who intentionally destroys an acquaintance’s mailbox over and over again. And intentionally makes kids miss the bus. And steals snacks from their lunches. And leaves kids alone in the bus while he votes. And…

That’s all messed up. How Keesterman doesn’t throttle the evil Master of Disaster, Crank, makes no sense. Best buds?

Complaining about public demeanor when you’re friends with Crankshaft is rich.

Haha! XD
