The Comics Curmudgeon claims there's a rumor or something that Crankshaft has a year-long buffer, so these "Flu" strips would've been made just as things were starting, if that's correct.

So Batuik was assuming calling it "covid" wouldn't be topical anymore by the time they came out. Also explains the one strip referencing hand sanitizer specifically.

:shepicide:

Honestly, that would answer the question I've had about why the hell there's not a flu shot in the Crankshaft-verse, since there wouldn't have been a vaccination for covid at the time.

I feel relieved that she did used to wear them, likely when I was reading the comics more often and that's why I still picture her with them. As for recently I forget if I noticed it or if it was pointed out by someone on here or by Josh Fruhlinger's blog.

Her knobby rear end head still makes me uncomfortable though

Working Daze I don't even loving know.


I had to look at this one twice because while I appreciate the overhead angle, which is visually interesting and difficult to do with regards to foreshortening, at first glance I couldn't figure out why the woman in red (sorry, i can't be bothered to learn these characters' names) had three legs and one freaky foot with really long toes.

God even when they do get on with it they can't just get on with it.

Everything else aside, I'm getting really loving sick and tired of Sarah being portrayed as some sort of child savant who keeps on producing these heartbreaking works of staggering genius.

I guess the humor is supposed to be he's talking to a baby and understands the baby even though all the baby says is Bah Bah, which is stupid and awful.

I guess I'mma be the Daddy Daze defender. I realize that having the dad translate the babyspeak is aggravating to many people here, but I can take that a hell of a lot faster than I can the cutesey phonetic misspelled babyspeak that gets used in Rose is Rose. I also appreciate that Daddy Daze depicts a divorced couple who seem to genuinely like each other and who aren't constantly arguing or using the baby as a weapon in their failed marriage. And as simplistic as the art style may be, the artist often does things with facial expressions that I find kinda sweet and charming.

This, on the other hand:

As if I didn't already hate this storyline enough already, Jesus loving Christ I can practically see the cartoon dollar signs in Rex's eyes here as he tries to convince his child to sell her story to a famous children's author. She's already told you no, you self-centered, entitled prick. Leave her the gently caress alone. This whole loving comic should just be renamed "White Privilege".

Who Cares Shut Up



Gonna call it right now: the author's idea for his next story is a sequel or somehow otherwise depends on elements of Sarah's story and thus cannot exist unless the precocious little six-year-old agrees to let him use it.

I hate this loving strip.

Teen years, my rear end. At the rate this strip is going all-in on Sarah's genius, she'll be finishing a doctoral thesis on the mathematical nature on the works of Jackson Pollack by the time she's 14.

Aww poor baby had to sit on the tarmac for an entire hour

Tell me about it. A couple of summers ago, before COVID came along and everything went to hell, a line of storms across the midwest hosed up nationwide air traffic something awful and I got stuck in JFK for 13 hours waiting for a flight out. When we finally got a plane, we we were in line on the tarmac for takeoff for another couple of hours. All of this for like a 45-minute flight to Burlington, VT. I could have loving WALKED there in the amount of time I waited (or at the very least, rented a car and driven there).

Ed can shut right the hell up, I guess is what I'm saying.
