Crankshaft will slowly get bleaker as the Funky characters filter in and take over, like how Outland shifted back into being Bloom County after eight months.

i presume he'll have a quiet heart to heart with the mom about how she was being "targeted" for something by beanie boy and his mysterious phone contact and they'll all sigh with relief and she'll kiss the cop

I generally can't bring myself to care about anything happening here, but I need to know if I'm hallucinating - wasn't the hedgehog/bat an infant just like a post or two ago? I could swear

Gil Thorp


Usually I do okay keeping up with what's happening in Gil Thorp, but this one escapes me.

i suspect we're just starting the next story at the post-game presser and gil will kick off the flashback of what we missed in that game in the next couple strips

Wow this guy really WAS into the Butthole Surfers before they were cool

yeah, dang

for the record, the new surfers record at that point would have been their first full-length (after a pair of EPs), "psychic...powerless...another man's sac," which came out in late 1984 - the follow-up EP "cream corn from the socket of davis" wouldn't be released until 1986 in the states

They even manage to make recap strips fun by doing it from a different character's perspective each time, it's impressive honestly.

Has the person currently behind it done any other notable work in the past out of curiosity?

the webcomic lavender jack, which is quite good. not exactly notable, but excellently done

i don't like holbrook, but i think the main reason he grates on the thread in ways other authors don't is that we get eight whole strips of his poo poo per day (except on blessed "no safe havens on sunday" sundays) across four plotlines that range from garbage to nonsense at any given time

Pretty sure this is universal, Gene. Also Indiana, Pennsylvania is a cursed town name.

home of indiana university of pennsylvania

PA also has the wyoming valley, wyoming county, and the town of wyoming, which is in the valley but not in the county.
