Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for July 16, 2023

Careful, Mopey, you’re the kind of opponent big guys fear. They might trip over you and injure themselves when they hit the floor.

Comic book guy from the Simpsons!?

I always assume that’s what an internet Troll looks like in real life

Easier to ignore online

this one’s wimpy

Careful, buddy; she has a black belt… but you have great taste.

Hope you got your spinach!

Oh boy, ‘damseling’ – another made-up word that no human being outside of a Batiuk strip has ever actually used!

Married couples often dress up as sibling characters. Perfectly normal.

No wonder I keep reading men are having identity issues.

If she’s supposed to be Wanda Maximoff (in her classic costume,) where’s her red hair? And, I’m guessing that his outfit is supposed to be Pietro’s classic costume. Maybe ought to be green.

Hey back off Mopey. The ladies love cosplay cause it’s fun and it DOES attract attention. Get over yourself or stay home.

Mopey Pete work for Atomik Komix. Why is he and Mindy (I think that’s her name) dress up as characters from MARVEL? It doesn’t make sense!

Batty gave up making sense years ago. Re: The Time-Mop freak.

I got called a homophobe by a married man with multiple male lovers when I let him know I didn’t appreciate him hitting on my date. After my date agreed with him I decided they were perfect for each other. “Your loss bud!”

Why are you walking around the Con floor, Pete? You’re there to work! Get back to the Atomik Komix booth. This isn’t a paid vacation!

A man who won’t stand up for his girlfriend? Careful what you wish for girl, you might just get it…..

Is this payback for The Simpsons making fun of Funky many years ago? Except The Simpsons character isn’t ridiculed.

So Mopey & Minty decided to go dressed as brother & sister? Nothing at all weird or creepy about that. It does help explain why their engagement has not proceeded to marriage, though.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND AFTER POSTING THIS MORNING

Umm, you two lovebirds do recall that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are brother and sister, don’t you?

Also, Worst Jeff Albertson Cameo Ever.

he looks like the owner of the comic store on the Simpsons.

“Okay, fine. When you get into trouble, don’t come running to me.”

I hate when guys do that. He was just complimenting her costume, dude, not hitting on her!
