Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for August 30, 2023

Thanks, for the warning ……… Cranky!!!!!

/SHMIRK/

I prefer Highway to Hell.

“The wheels of the bus go round and round……. All through the town.”

I’ll go with Steppenwolf, Born to be wild. Head out on the highway, looking for adventure.

and so the good ship Kindertransport leaves port for another 3-hour tour!

Crankity Crank Again!

A moment we’ve all felt.

A few token bricks in the first panel.

I can very well relate to him feeling good about driving because I’m also a retiree. I retired from working for NYC last year. Got myself a minty condition 2018 Sentra as a present to myself. I recently started back to hustling a cab part time for the company I worked for years ago. Not only does it give me something to do, but the money I make from hustling saves me from having to constantly dip into my SS and annuity.

Cranks in paradise.

WWWNS?

If Crankshaft is a WW2 veteran…he would be in his late 90’s or even past 100

As Willy would say………

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Roll another one

Just like the other one

You’ve been hanging on to it

And I sure would like a hit

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Roll another one

Just like the other one

That one’s just about burnt to the end

So come on and be a real friend

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Don’t bogart that joint, my friend

Pass it over to me

Well, it’s only Wednesday, but I’d bet money by the end of the week we have a mother running after him, and him getting to school with no kids on.

Crankshaft at his best……….

No marijuana smoke? Not on Cranky’s bus.

Unseen panel #3. Dozens of cars held up behind a dawdling Ed Crankshaft, driving 15 mph under the limit.

Hmm, there’s a song that could be used to ear-train and sight-sing minor sixths. I never knew that one. The comic artist actually wrote the right interval and rhythm for the beginning of the song.

A new year. A new quest. On the trail for the unattended mailbox.

off topic: I read One of Us Is Lying and find Bayview, Caifornia (the city the book takes place in) simular to Westview, Ohio (while Westview revolves around Cancer and comic books, Bayview, California revolves around taking revenge against those who have wronged you)

Bet he’ll be singing a different tune by the end of his shift!
