Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for June 01, 2023

For Crank’s next trick, he’ll use the ZIP Code for the amount.

Well, something is ensuing. It doesn’t appear to have any resemblance to hilarity, so that must be coming along later.

Pam should get an academy award for appearing so interested in panel 2.

Sometimes it is hard to focus …thinking about something besides what I am doing.

So will the company refund him the difference?

I still don’t see why overpaying his “Bean’s End” affected Ed’s delivery. So he overpaid? One upshot is that he has a credit with them, so he can by more stuff.

The question I have is why would someone be given such exalted buyer status when they pay by check which takes days to clear (and may bounce)?

So, did he use the invoice number on both the line for the amount in digits and the amount in words?

SO. Will Ed ever get his money back?

Will Ed swear off using checks?

Will Pam ever understand her dad?

Will Ed ever improve his financial acumen?

Stay tuned, folks, for the exciting, and surprising conclusion of “Crankshaft in the Digital World”.

I’m surprised Ed doesn’t have direct withdrawal at Bean’s End, so they can just suck whatever they want out of his account.

Seems like that would be hard to do with a check, since you have to write out the amount in words.

Well thank goodness it wasn’t a 6 figure number!
