Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 06, 2013

Just googled it! Cute little critters of the alpaca family.

I smell a scam here.

You’re right. Wow. Excellent work.

I think it may be awhile before youget this suit. I can smell the alpacasnow. Fresh green grass, blue sky,sweet cool mountain air, running streams.It’s not a bad thing to be an alpaca. :)

Unless of course, you get plucked.

Skeezix still hasn’t asked the price. In case anyone missed my comments late yesterday, a hand-tailored vicuña suit is going to cost at least $30,000 to $60,000. The fabric is extremely expensive.

“young” Mr. Grace had a vicuna coat (which Grace Brother’s did NOT carry)..and in one episode—Mr. Lucas sold Mr. Grace his own vicuna coat…

Skeezix meets his evil twin….Sleazix…

I can almost but not quite see “Nina” in the lining of the front one (referring to Al Hirschfield’s trademark, not Mrs. Skeezix Wallet).

And shouldn’t the colorists find the “we don’t have liver disease”crayon?? I thought “The Simpsons” were the only ones licensed to have that yellowed skin tone!!

JPW, I fully agree.

One of the best things about this segment is that I can hear Frank Nelson’s voice as I read the salesman’s words!
