Well, I like this turn, which ties the last two stories together quite nicely. The only thing that would make me happier is if the Pyes discover that Gertie and Earl have already set up housekeeping inside. What ever happened to Earl, anyway? Let’s get back to some of the old characters like him, Upton O. Goode, and Ramona Lisa…
Thanks axe-grinder.
Its great to be back, as its been a busy life for me. Kept up with the comics though via cell phone. But unable to make any comments, just too large of a file for my little cell phone.
Anyway, like you too axe, I am beginning to like this plot a whole lot better. Can’t wait to see if they turn the bus over and how, unless Rufus and Joel come around and pull it right side up.
Wow…and talk about comicsbs. Jim is an old geezer? Well, all I can say to that is, he is a fairly well good artist for being an old geezer. Jim’s artwork is the best I have seen in any comics.
Great draughtsmanship in the comix peaked a long time ago. The best examples were the soaps: Mary Worth, Judge Parker, Rex Morgan MD, Apartment 3-G, Abbie n’ Slats and Steve Canyon come to mind, all in the 15 or 20 years or so before 1970, although most of them are still around and still being drawn very well. Check them out before calling this artwork the best in any comic.
GA began life as a whimsical yet warm-hearted family soap. Scancarelli’s predecessors on GA were better than he is at storytelling, creating characters and atmosphere, and yup, drawing too. He draws well, but his own flamboyant kiddie-comic style conflicts with the traditional subdued semi-realism of the strip, and while he tries to preserve the latter, as time goes by he can’t repress the former. The result sometimes jarringly looks like the same frame has two artists drawing different parts of it. (For eg, check out the circus animals versus Walt and the other humans in the last story.)

That gang is back for more free loading. Bet they don’t find any food in it though.

Hey comicsbs. If that’s your gf, she looks like a guinea pig and just about as smart. If you can’t do better than that, you belong in the comic too!
Now pipe down and let’s watch the action as Herr Pye and the boys set up a squat in the derelict school bus.

How would this guy be familiar with a high-class word like “ingoramus”? Maybe from reading da comix online?

Reminds of a bus I hung out in during a visit to Virginia. It had sunk deep into the mud, and was never removed. But no, it wasn’t upside down.

Hector, the Pyes will adapt to any quarters, as they demonstrated by living in Walt’s attic for several years.
ORteka, count me among the admirers of Scancarelli’s art.
