I believe Crankshaft is morphing into Wuss-shaft. Please come back, Cranky, get behind that school bus steering wheel and run over some old ladies. Quit wussing around with Lillian.
The latest “news” from the mysterious master propagandist, which is distributed to and carried by every major news outlet is that Trump secretly gave Putin a Covid test kit, implying that Trump is a traitor. Oh, the horror. God forbid that Trump makes a kind gesture to a foreign leader. In other news, which doesn’t come up because it doesn’t smear Trump, is that President Obama secretly sent $1.7 billion in cash to the Iranian government. Ah, what a kind gesture to a foreign leader, the stuff of Nobel Peace Prizes. Do you suppose any of that money went to ballistic missiles to be used against our middle East allies?
This is a COMIC strip found in “Go COMICS”, so to make up for the lack of COMEDY (i.e. humor) I offer this scenario: The police show up after receiving an anonymous phone call, and mistake these people for the protestors, round them up and put them all in jail. Imagine Crankshaft, his extended family, Lillian, and most of the other characters who have dominated the strip for the last two weeks all crammed into a jail cell. And the punch line, they can’t be released until the judge returns from his vacation on (oh this is hilarious) Fire Island, New York.
