Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for May 06, 2024

Huh! Tom spelt it “SINGING” and not “YET ANOTHER BOOK SIGNING”, weird.

Hooray for DINKLE! ALL PRAISE to DINKLE! Crank…who? This strip was never a funny one about a bus driver! Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia! SMIRK “lol”

“In the first place, Lillian, I’m married. And in the second place, you’re you.”

A “Me Too” moment? That was the big thing in 2017. Has Batiuk been waiting since 2018 to make fun of it?

Step aside ‘Chinese Water Torture’ and waterboarding, there’s a new, stronger, more potent method of torture in town.

It’s the Harry Dinkle/Lillian McKenzie two-in-one team up. Yes, the never-ending adventures of the two most unlikable characters in the Batiukverse continues. May the Lord have mercy on our souls.

Edward Roger Dale Crankshaft Sr., please come home. We miss you and your comic strip needs you. For the last three weeks this strip has blown chunks. DREADFUL STUFF!

Sigh. Where’s Cranky, and where are all the posters who keep asking that? Have they just given up?

Why is this called “Crankshaft”? Why not rename it “The Adventures of Amelia Earhardt and Jimmy Hoffa”?

Lil goes the other way Dinkle

Singing? Who’s singing, what are they singing? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Oh, FFS..

They were in that balcony 3 weeks ago talking about books.

Me too? Ain’t ancient relics too old for that?

I can’t find any of Batty’s human characters even tolerable. The cats are sort of okay, at best.

I guess Batty really wants to “poison the well” before Crankshaft gets cancelled like Funky Winkerbean was. “When I’m done, all people will think of when you say ‘Crankshaft’ are the absolute worst 80 year olds engaged in the most boring conversations imaginable. And also book signings.”

Yes, because if someone asks you out on a date it’s sexual harassment. Lillian is losing it. If she ever even had it.

Ask away.

Always happens in church!

Well, it COULD lead to something like a “me too” minute, but only if you are interested in trying something with Harry, Lil.

i thought we were going to see them open the salsa jar today but no we get more fossil talk

Please make it stop! I’ll even take a BBQ or mailbox gag!

Oh,I was a bit wrong. The strips on May 4th are running on TB’s website,not GoComics or Arcamax.

Lillian uses her imagination too much in this strip with Harry. Nice to know it still might “happen” in this small town.

wAITING FOR BALCONY TO COLLAPSE FROM WEIGHT OF ALL THOSE UNBOUGHT BOOKS

Don’t flatter yourself

Actually, the real “new, stronger, more potent method of torture in town” is all you trolls! LOL…

Why does he say it’s personal, if it’s about singing?

They were having a “Me Too” moment but, years of harassing Majorettes have taught Harry to think on his feet and cover his Butt.
