Crankshaft is designed to be a cranky ash hole, so I’m not saying this because I expect or want it to be any different in today’s case – but; isn’t it peculiar how so many of Tom Batiuk’s strips rely on the regular characters acting out like petulant twits to professional workers?
I hate to say it because we might just get it but canonically doesn’t Crankshaft have many, many moles and keratoses on his back? Reference: https://www.gocomics.Com/crankshaft/2023/08/09. Enough to gross out even a doctor and nurse. Here in three panels we see only a few small black dots. Maybe the good doctor finally put on gloves and spent hours removing the keratoses?

Wouldn’t know. Everyone says I don’t have the shoulder to support anyone.
They are the same folks who rant that I am always a tight a$s.

I’m predicting right now – just like this strip each day, no “happy ending”.

My late husband used to say I had the tightest shoulders this side of the Mississippi. He gave really good back and shoulder rubs.

Smother him with a pillow, lady. No jury in the land will convict you.
