    In the immortal words of George C. Scott in “Hardcore”: “Turn it off. Turn it off! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFFFFF!!!”

    As a matter of fact, yes…sometimes. When Crankshaft himself is the focus of a storyline along with certain OG members of his supporting cast, it can be an amusing gag-a-day strip. Just like “Winkerbean,” though, Batiuk can overwhelm readers with his “serious” arcs, his reliance on avatar characters no one likes (*cough*LILLIAN!cough), and lately the influx of FW refugees (like this week’s Batton biodrama). If we criticize it, it’s because we’ve seen its better days.

    I performed an original dance in his memory. Feiffer assembled and wrote 1965’s The Great Comic Book Heroes, one of the first books to offer a serious look at Superman, Batman, Captain America, The Spirit, and company. I’m sure Batiuk has a copy on his shelves.

    Ye gods and little fishes, I haven’t seen this much self-congratulatory backslapping since the WWF gave Barry Horowitz a push in the mid-1990s!

    You should have asked Skip for a clever title, Thomas. He would have come up with “Filthy Teens in Muddy Jeans” or “Dippy Hippies Don’t Wow Skippy” at a moment’s notice.

    Check out the death of silent film actress Olive Thomas. It also happened—supposedly—to the second Mrs. Kane in “Citizen Kane.” Anyway, Bouncing Boy was lucky, as he later married Duo Damsel, who could split into two identical bodies. Imagine the mathematical possibilities.
