Carol’s Knee
And this, of course, is my wife Carol’s knee. A minor repair, and all is well.

Yes, this is, of course, my identical twin sister Jean’s brain.

The Crank Gets The Shaft
When I saw yesterday’s ‘Crankshaft’ I knew it would draw negative responses, and it has, as noted in Editor and Publisher; although so far they’re limited to the blogosphere.
There does seem to be an implicit reference to sexual assault in this cartoon, and I just don’t see anything about that being funny. Also, older women are prime targets for purse snatching, so the pepper spray is justified anyway. But Crankshaft is an unpleasant character, more often portrayed as pathetic than sympathetic, so I guess in that context this gag makes some sense.

Who Drew This?
I’m surprised by how little the style of this famous cartoonist changed from his college days, of which this panel is one example. Thanks to Heidi MacDonald for the tip.
