Planning to have a proper post out for you guys in the next couple days. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my artistic rendering of how I imagine the sausage is made.

Go Fourth, Into The Past.
I’m busy with family right now, literally burning money in the most beautiful and sparkly way ever. And I hope all of you also have fun things planned for Independence Day.
Due to the two weeks of recycled Lisa’s Story regurgitation we were subjected to the last week, I wanted to remind myself why I sometimes found Crankshaft good. I decided to pull up a quick vertical slice of 20 years of Crankshaft’s 4th of July strips. Some are festive, some are fun, some are nonsensical, and some are just dumb. But seen as a whole, the downward trajectory is clear. Let me know which of these, if any you find funny/infuriating.
Love you all!
(Sundays for the first several years weren’t available, so that’s why some years are skipped. )

And the winner of the Crankshaft punchline contest is….
Duck of Death with “God damn that bitch! I ordered stones!”
Ducky! Please come up to accept your prize! I know it’s half-assed and terrible looking. But so is Crankshaft these days.
Is This The Line For Punch?
I had a different goal on these parodies. Instead of recontextualizing the entire strip I just changed one word bubble to write a new punchline.
Can you come up with more interesting and funny punchlines to these setups? The winner will get awful photoshop art in their honor!
