Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for February 03, 2025

“I mean, what if those kids refuse to risk death by exposure to perform for my greater glory? The ingrates!”

Well, at least Ed got to make Sunday appearance.

Oh, boy! Just when I thought they wouldn’t dredge up a piece of FW jetsam even more annoying than Batton Thomas!

I don’t know how to break this to you, Harry, but you’re no longer a music educator! There’s no reason for you to be thinking about OMEA anymore, and certainly no reason for you to attend the conference! Not that this will stop Batiuk.

Sit Harry and Batty down together… I’d like to see who can “out-self-congratulate” the other…

What? This guy again? Of all the characters it has to be him? What happen to Batton Thomas story? Did thems runs outta pizzas? Did ol Skippy couldn’t bears it anymore and run away?

Unfair to fans of Cranky. GoComics is running Unfunny Wunkerbunk, so why invade Crank’s space?

On the bright side, maybe the bus will swerve off the road and into a ravine, and ALL of us will be getting what we want!

With my whole heart, I hate Harry Dinkle.

I would bow out if it’s a blizzard. But that would be common sense.

“…a blinding snowstorm!”

With luck, it’ll also be deafening.

Harry is retired from being a high school music director, why is he worried about taking a “hundred, or, so” high school band members to some convention?And, even if he weren’t, who would he get for a female chaperone?

Here we go :

i got spurs dingle dankle dinkle

A blinding snowstorm a week away?

Oh good, we cut away from Batton’s life story to get to Dingle. Can’t wait for 4-8 weeks from now when we get part 47 of Batton’s story being told over pizza.

That is stress…..buddy…….Crank can help you with that!!!!!
