So, what happened anyway? Did the Pyes get away from that awful sarcastic cop? Has the trap door been permanently closed? Inquiring minds want to know.
BigGrouch said, They say Gasoline Alley is the only comic strip in real time. But the past two days have taken about a month, haven’t they?
At least at one time, the characters were said to age in real time, year by year. The strip, however, was never known as one that proceeded in real time, minute by minute. I was just reading a 1930s sequence where Skeezix Indian wrestles with a rival. That the match unfolds over several dailies did not suggest that the match lasted several days!
Yes, Gertie, you looked bushed. Take a little time off. To relieve you, we can get someone in with experience watching Walt. Like Eve, his biker chick granddaughter. If she’s out of jail. If not her, Mayor Melba or Hoogy will do.
And I thought I was the only one bored with this storyline. Whatever happened to the stories being about the whole family? I want to see what is going on with them as they age too.

So, did the Pyes go to jail or did they get away? This is disappointing. We waited 2 months for a conclusion to the story and didn’t get it.

If your night lasted a month, you would be tired too!

Those Pye’s guys took off and officer/clueless never got them. And Mr. Walt never ate the pies he mistook for what Gertie was talking about.
