Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for January 18, 2024

At long last Ed greets someone with a smile!

Not even the HAT? What do his clothes smell like?

Better than the time he put the hospital gown on backward, at least.

Bite the pillow.

Ready to Rumble!!!!!!!!!

Obviously, he’s very uncomfortable with the process.

The masseuse should be happy about this! Considering the alternative.

He probably has 100 sets of clothes…all the same.

I would have guessed he’d take off everything, and sit there manspreading for her!

Chiropractor? Physical Therapist?

He’s UNcomfortable with everything he wears, so — taking her literally — he didn’t take any of it off.

He might as well just…take off.

Cranky, you take off the attitude.

That WAS easy……

You RELAX for a massage. You don’t imitate a 2by4 at Home Depot.

Time for the hot stone treatment

Crank seems to have discovered planking.

Somehow Ed, I don’t think just taking your glasses is going to work.

Ed is showing his age. Old men don’t like to get bare in front of women.

Even the Shoes. Is he ashamed of his Toes?
