He blusters and grumbles. He rants and raves. He tries to outgun the school kids chasing after the bus on his route. But in his heart, Ed Crankshaft has a decent streak a mile wide. Patiently explaining death to his grandson Max. Comforting his friend Ralph as Ralphs wife descends into Alzheimers. Thrusting flowers and candy at his son-in-law on a nearly forgotten wedding anniversary. The star of the hit comic strip Crankshaft is a gentle soul stuck in a cantankerous mood. With a supporting cast that includes Eds two daughters, Chris and Pam; Pams husband, Jeff; and their kids, Max and Mindy, Crankshaft appeals to families everywhere who steadfastly deal with intergenerational cares and conflicts. As one critic said: Crankshaft is a witty, thoughtful commentary on the trials and tribulations of todays senior citizens. But, of course, Crankshaft is so much more. The strips approach to Alzheimers generated countless letters and e-mails, as did Crankshafts near-death illness. Hilarious and clever, honest and moving, Crankshaft both keeps readers laughing at the curmudgeons pranks and pondering lifes real meaning in this collection, Your Favorite...Crab Cakes Its a balancing act thats rarely attempted in the comics-and with Crankshaft, it works admirably.
