Book Banning Series in Crankshaft Comic Strip

From The Daily Cartoonist


Tom Batiuk, creator of the tremendously popular Crankshaft and Funky Winkerbean comic strips, has created a compelling storyline that illuminates the challenges librarians and store owners currently face around book banning. 

 The series began August 26 [2024] in the Crankshaft comic strip and continues through October. 

As a former teacher and writer of the strips for many years, books and reading are essential elements of Batiuk’s creative and personal life. 

He offers an astute, insightful look into the genesis of this story line, sharing how this important topic was thoughtfully and organically woven into the strip.
