After sixty, its just patch, patch, patch, says Crankshaft as he waits at the doctors office.n n In this Crankshaft book, Ive Still Got It!, readers can follow their beloved grandfather figure as he struggles with new challenges, from a friend with Alzheimers disease to another friend whos been mugged. Along the way, Crankshaft continues his quest to finally read all the Popular Mechanics magazines daughter Pam has given him over the years.n n Although readers love Crankshaft because the strip makes them laugh, they also cherish the panels honesty about issues faced by people of all ages, from literacy to illness to crime. They also appreciate the real feelings that linger just below the surface between Crankshaft and his housemates-daughter Pam, son-in-law Jeff, and their kids Max and Mindy, his stray cat, Pickles, and his girlfriend, Grace.n n
