Your Favorite-- Crab Cakes!

- A Crankshaft Collection

Bag om Your Favorite-- Crab Cakes!

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 Ralph''s wife descends into Alzheimer''s. 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 Ed''s two daughters, Chris and Pam; Pam''s 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 today''s senior citizens."" But, of course, Crankshaft is so much more. The strip''s approach to Alzheimer''s generated countless letters and e-mails, as did Crankshaft''s near-death illness. Hilarious and clever, honest and moving, Crankshaft both keeps readers laughing at the curmudgeon''s pranks and pondering life''s real meaning in this collection, Your Favorite...Crab Cakes! It''s a balancing act that''s rarely attempted in the comics-and with Crankshaft, it works admirably.
