Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for September 25, 2023

“She shot my bus! I never shoulda named it Old Yeller!”

Cushlamachree, Batiuk is really going for a third week of this nonsense? Cranky was shown stopping his bus to pick the little Johnson girl up at the end of Week One! How much more blood is TB looking to drain from this humor-free stone? Shouldn’t we have moved on to “Ed gets all the backyard leaves raked save one still on the tree” by now?

… she installed a pop-up stop sign, and he stopped 2’ short of a puddle of water.

Crankshaft has to go through the stages of grief, starting with denial. For example, if you ask me if I actually like Bat-tick’s comic strips, the first thing I’ll do is deny it.

Heavens to Betsy. Week number three of this? Now that someone has finally “caught” Mr. Crankshaft’s bus, maybe Mr. Writer will finally end this beat to death running gag. Nah!

HIS Eagle Will Soon Soar Again! One Nation Under GOD! GOD Bless America!

get over it Ed. there’s other things in live besides making a poor grandma’s and her cute grandaughter lives miserable. you have you seed catalogs / garden and your “rocket” grill to play with. then your weekly visits with the other cranks in the diner. then using malaproprism as only you can do.

“Oh, the shame!” “THAT @#$% grandmother broke my record!”

Lena to Ed; here Ed have some of my brownies with my coffee to cheer you up!

Ed is feeling his age!!!!!

He’s been shown with kids in his bus, so obviously SOME people catch it daily. He’s freaking picked up the grandmother’s granddaughter from day one. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. So I guess all the other drivers try to make their kids miss their buses, but aren’t as good as it as Ed. What a dysfunctional, cruel town.

This must be payback for us whining about all the mailboxes. And grill explosions. And gutter leaves fiascos.

is she gonna make him some brownies to cheer him up

A Grandma at that. Oh how the mighty have fallen…..

Tough break…

Life goes on, GET OVER IT!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
