Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 12, 2019

That note brought a tear to Rufus’ eye and maybe to some of the readers of this strip. She repaid Rufus’ kindness in probably the only way she could.

Where did she go?

I dunno. l’d check to make sure my valuables are safe and sound. Wait…..this is Rufus. No valuables except kitty cats. How sweet of Willow.

Rufus has a washing machine? I know the place has electricity because of the Chef Meowrice commercials he watches, but I thought running water was a stretch (considering his hygiene practices).

I wonder what “I cleaned up” means.

Just a reminder that Rufus can not read. He should have no clue what the note says.

Wow, great ending

She spells “and” "an’ ".

Awww! Is it possible we misjudged Willow??

Well that was an unexpected turn of events….

Willow is not so bad after all!

I responded to well-i-never’s post from yesterday, saying that I hit it on the head. Please know I have no means of reading strips ahead, etc. I just have followed GA on and off for years, and know how things tend to work out for Rufus, and Joel.

It’s feels nice for someone like me to be able to say, in that VERY rare moment, ‘I CALLED IT!’ Cheers!:)

Hopefully Rufus will now invite Joel in to see the cleaned abode before Rufus messes it up again.

aw

I wonder if Rufus wished Willow would be gone – and maybe feels a twinge of guilt now?

Maybe Rufus can read now.

B E A U T I F U L .

What a nice twist on the story.
