The school bus driver everyone loves to hate is back with another collection of his crotchety antics. Ed Crankshaft, the man who enjoys nothing more than parking in the middle of a puddle or making kids lose their lunchboxes, is more obnoxious than ever in this new set. But he isn't all bad-underneath his crusty exterior lies a fun-loving romantic. And Crankshaft is gaining new converts even as he ages. Tom Batiuk (creator of Funky Winkerbean) and Chuck Ayers continue the saga of one of the most distinctive characters in the world of comic strips in ...And One Slice With Anchovies, a timely collection that includes Crankshaft's award-winning series on illiteracy.
