   Frank Oscar King (April 9, 1883 – June 24, 1969) was an American cartoonist best known for his comic strip Gasoline Alley. In addition to innovations with color and page design, King introduced real-time continuity in comic strips by showing his characters aging over generations.

   King often credited his wife, Delia, for providing a “woman’s angle” to Gasoline Alley. The central character of Walt was based on King’s brother-in-law, Walter White Drew (1886–1941), and he used his own son, Robert Drew King, as the model for Skeezix. Tomah’s Dr. Johnson was the inspiration for the character of Doc, and Bill in the strip was based on Bill Gannon.

   Couple of questions:

   1. Has anybody noticed that the police have confirmed a good number of these protestors are not college students but from outside? (Reminds of the BLM riots.)

   2. Has anybody noticed that even though college kids tend to be broke and eat a lot of Ramen Noodles and Pizza, these "protestors were able to buy some pretty nice tents. Those tents aren’t cheap. Wonder where the money came from?

   3. Has anybody noticed they all have similar colors? As if they all went to the same store at the same time and bought together? (Most stores do not carry that large an inventory in a B&M store at any given day.)

   Maybe they all got together and ordered on line at the same time.

   4. Has anybody? Yeah, that Hezbollah, the one officially declared a terrorist organization. Those flags aren’t cheap either and most college kids don’t have a clue who Hezbollah is.

   Just noticing and wondering.

   The banks were repaid the agreed upon amount in full. The valuation of the property had nothing to do with the amount repaid. I am sure the banks were perfectly happy to get the their agreed upon money.

   BTW, good to have you back with your emotional rhetoric. Got a little worried when you didn’t try to say anything about the previous strip about Joe and the cannibals. (Then again, not much defense for Joe is there?)

   And the banks had the opportunity to research and do their due diligence and they willingly accepted the contract. If they had a problem, they should have refused. If anything, the fault is with the banks. Blame the banks for failing to do their work.

   BUT the banks got paid. EVERYBODY was happy Except the liberals who have to STOP TRUMP AT ANY AND ALL COSTS, NO MATTER WHAT!

   I read to get away from the trials and tribulations of work. I like the last panel where he discusses how the images looked in the newspapers. I remember reading the funnies, especially the Sunday Funnies. Even as I got older I enjoyed reading the Sunday paper and this reminded me of that.

   Nobody is forcing anybody to read any of the comic strips. Give it a break and go enjoy life. Quit overthinking a comic as if it is real life or it mattered three days from now.

   Actually the property values were under inflated and the property was worth far more than reported. The banks had time to due their due diligence. Everybody agreed and nobody complained except the liberals who want to Stop Trump at any cost! The judge, following guidance from the liberal leadership, set the valuations at extremely low levels so they could use a law that hasn’t been used in ages and ages.

   By the way, why aren’t we concerned about Bill Clinton and his hush money payments? We know the money didn’t come from his pockets.

   “Former President Donald Trump’s 2016 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former President Bill Clinton’s 1998 settlement with Paula Jones are markedly different, legal experts said. (Sure they are, keep reading)

   Clinton personally paid Jones to settle a public lawsuit after an election. Trump secretly funneled money through his lawyer to pay Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

   So Bill paid personally and Trump paid through his lawyer. Bottom line, BOTH PAID.

   Just remember, this isn’t about guilt or innocence, it is all about stopping Trump at any cost, any way possible.

   Oh Joe is now ‘mirroring’ Trump. Remember when Trump said there were bad and good on both sides of the Charlotte incident? Well Joie just said he condemns the anti-semantic protestors but he also condemns the anti-Palestine protestors. Seems there are good and bad on both sides.

   Yet Joe condemned Trump sor saying almost the exact same thing. I guess his memory faded.

    I notice the dems aren’t even attempting to defend Joe.

    BTWE just saw on the news that Syracuse Police and other authorities are asking Joe to delay his campaign stop as they just had two police officer’s killed and the people are grieving. Plus there is the issue of police attending the funeral and also being assigned to protect Joe. Even members of Congress have asked him to postpone the tipr.

    Joe’s response? Press on regardless.
