Kinda seems like Sohn could just leave with his team if they void the contract. That wouldn't exactly be a great bargain for the management there. Really looking forward to finally seeing some demons play baseball.

I've been thinking pretty much this exact thing about this strip's premise. If you're just invisible, with no other abilities or self-preservation, you're probably going to get hit by a lot of cars and people walking around and stuff.

The last couple of Crankshaft strips have been these two blankly staring at the football broadcast in abject boredom. I have never felt so seen by a comic strip and I hate that it's one of Batiuk's.

Any guesses as to how Scarlet gets out of this, given that she is not Invisible Flying Scarlet O'Neil?

She somehow collides with the pilot as he parachutes down, despite them starting hundreds of yards apart at improbable angles.

Winnie: Making his family happy by showing how much of a big shot he's become.
Planck: Doing his best to move on past the woman he's been mutually obsessed with (although obviously there will be drama over this in the future)

Don't worry, I'm sure Scarlet O'Neil ran in there and saved Vallorie.

It turns out that Stamm draws appalling black people even by the low standards of 1940. So behind the spoilers it goes.





For those who'd rather not look: Scarlet dives in after Mike and pulls Mike and the old man to the shore -- invisibly, so it appears to onlookers that Mike is doing the rescuing. When the old man revives, he gives Mike some money for "saving" him.

Big oof under those spoilers :smith:.

Also the old man was rowing a boat in a full tux?
