Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for June 12, 2013

When this story started. Slim only had two functioning brain cells And in the second panel one of those has died!

He’ll soon find out what soap scum tastes like.

“Stupid is what stupid does.”

Clovia. Bikini. Now!

At least he didn’t use the toilet.

Meanwhile Clovia is having fun, meeting people on the plane. There was an amusing incident when she got her seatbelt mixed up with the passenger seated next to her. And there was an irritating kid sitting behind her who had headphones on and was singing along with the music on his iPhone.

Really. I’d much rather be seeing what Clovia’s doing right now, instead of watching Slim show off his stupidity.

It appears that Slim does know how to make a cup of coffee.

A man with a plan.

So far this is way better than the usual Slim story. Something has happened. Is somebody else secretly writing GA now?

Slim is no different from Riley, Ralph Kramden, Ed Norton or other such characters.

Agreed.

Once, the day before Thanksgiving, I called my Mom at work and told her I was going to help her by washing the turkey. I asked her how many cups of Tide I should use.I was joking. Panicked her for a second until I started laughing.

Couldn’t he just get himself a ham sandwich from the local deli?

I honestly don’t see the purpose or the humor in portraying Slim as not having “the brains God gave green apples”. No one is that stupid and if they were they would be in a home with full time keepers.
