Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 27, 2011

EMD didn’t make many high short hood GP-30 locomotives.

Notice the body language in panel one. Definitely two people who are cold to each other.

Clovia probably even had to pay for the popcorn!

^–and his ticket! (But then my Boss paid my ticket the other evening to see Inside Job at The Academy; all of $3, worth it to be that disgusted!)

–Maybe ‘cause I got her a nice blackberry cobbler the last time there - the last one in the shop around the corner.

Yup, it’s an old joke to us oldsters all right, but maybe there are still the younguns’ who read it as well haven’t heard it yet, ya suppose? Lead on, Jim.

Old jokes, old songs, old recipes, old plays, old stories… doesn’t matter how old, as long as they’re done well! I like it, but agree that Slim should be inviting Clovia for a swim rather than worrying about the ladies on the screen.

I’m starting to wonder if Slim’s train is always a little late.

If Slim had been driving that train, it would have derailed…

axe-grinder, out of idle curiosity:

Would you be willing to share how you are able to boldface and italicize? (If you want to keep it to yourself, I respect that).

Thanks!

To paraphrase Milton Berle I think. Old jokes aren’t old to those who have never heard them before.

Quaby,

Thank you very much!

I see that the Hooterville Cannonball has had some upgrades done.

Fangirl, there is a site with lots of options: http://home.comcast.net/~ccdesan/Pibgorn/StyleGuide.html

I’ve been enjoying your posts, even without formatting!

Slim it’s time you checked out Viagra.

a-g: Thanks - ditto! I feel like I’ve learned a new language!

ladyfingers86 I received two types and have fun to. www.theworldofstuff.com “http://home.comcast.net/~ccdesan not sure if ccessan is part of web address.

But you have to use the whole URL for The (Old Wolf’s) Unofficial GoComics Style Guide to be allowed in there.

Yes, ‘~ccdesan’ is the username of the site; the ‘~’ denotes the user’s area, and of course, if you haven’t been following Pibgorn, well, you’ve been socially deprived, you poor thing!

While you’re there, browse around; Old Wolf has an interesting outlook on many things…
