   Boy are you a ditz. I never said a word about your alleged Master’s degree. That was @Foob.

   You’re a classic case of a pot calling the kettle black. My comment was no more of a rude, arrogant attack than yours. At least I had the courage to reply to you directly.

   You spoke to Batty? Wow. Did you see him in the produce section of the supermarket? In line at the post office?

   Was it in a dream? Tom Batiuk, the man of @DawnQuinn1’s dreams. LOL

   Thank you for your kind words, but I can no longer tolerate what the cartoonist has done to the strip. It’s totally fubar.

   Besides @wherescrankshaft in a reply that “didn’t mean the slightest inclination of malice at all” has forbidden me to come back. Apparently, they seem to think I need to set some kind of example to the finger-waggers.

   I send you love and peace and hope that joy finds you. Go outside, look at the clouds, feel the warmth of the sun on your face, and just breathe. You’ll be OK.

   You keep replying. I’m beginning to think you don’t want me to leave.

   Why don’t you go spend a few hours reading mostly empty comic discussions? They seem to be what you’re looking for.

   I get it. Your last comment didn’t have any words of more than one syllable. Discussions with a lot of comments can be intimidating for some people. So many words. Some of them with more than one syllable.

   @ms-ss: Faw-werk. Two parts!

   Teacher: No, that’s incorrect, ms-ss. “Fork” only has one syllable.

   Aw, D̷r̷.̷ ̷Q̷u̷i̷n̷n̷,̷ ̷M̷e̷d̷i̷c̷i̷n̷e̷ ̷W̷o̷m̷a̷n̷ I mean Dawn Quinn, Unintelligent Woman. I hate to see you continually embarrass yourself like this.

   Could somebody please help this poor woman find the blue reply link.

   I’ll probably be back. At least in the final days of the strip to drop a flower on the strip’s coffin as it is lowered into the grave.

   What an unkind thing to say. I thought we were on friendly terms, snarkers in arms.

   The decision to participate in this discussion or not will always be mine alone, not yours.

   Dear Doggie Dimwit,

   1.) When you get a chance, look up the term “internet troll.”

   2.) While you have the search open, look up the term “snarker.”

   3.) The commenters who receive the most upvotes and replies in the Crankshaft discussion are “snarkers.” Most people here read the comments because they enjoy the snark.

   4.) You intentionally posted a comment to upset and antagonize me. You are the “troll.”

   5.) If you remove all of the snarkers, what kind of a discussion page would this be? Would anyone bother commenting here? Would anyone bother reading it? Why do you even bother reading it? Have we ever seen a comment from you supporting the strip? Where’s your “positive” comment?

   6.) I used to be a fan of Crankshaft. At one time it was one of my favorite strips. Last month I had a daily comment series “Today’s Random Strip in Crankshaft History”. The purpose of those comments was to convince others that Crankshaft used to be good strip. To get people to check out the archive. Unfortunately, you were too dense to realize what I was doing and trolled me.

   7.) Go for walkies, you yappy dog.

   …and the ruination of Crankshaft is complete.

   Timemop?! Are you frickin’ kidding me, Batty? Have you lost your mind?! Why don’t you introduce the dumbest thing you’ve ever written into a second strip?

   Congratulations, Tom. You win. I’m done. BTW, the final move is mine. I’m giving you the Marie Kondo treatment. You no longer bring me pleasure. UNFOLLOW!!! Buh-bye!!!

   Can we start a deadpool estimating how long Crankshaft will continue before cancellation?

   TL;DR: This is crap.

    Tune in tomorrow when the ET reporter asks Masone, “If you were a tree, what tree would you like to be?”

    (begin sarcasm) Thanks for sharing this with us, Tom. It has been… um… a real pleasure to read. You’re a real… um… interesting guy. (end sarcasm)
