Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for May 18, 2011

Really? Is the bounced check the end of the cousin whathisname thread? That’s a little anticlimactic.

Nice segue from the last arc?

Grandparents are so easy, to convince.

I predict Boog will solve the riddle of Cousin Chubby, perhaps with the aid of Miss Chris (I hope).

I like the…what? reverse silhouette? in panel two.

Maybe Slim can learn something from Boog!

Since when is 7 years old “too old” for a baby-sitter?

@JanCinVV – My thought exactly. @Susan Newman – Right! Grandparents are free baby-sitters.

Maybe Slim and Clovia can send Rover out to collect empty cans, and they can all eat off of whatever the scrapyard will give them?

Maybe Slim and Boog will go into the woods and find the bear again.

Really like that first panel..has Jim done this sort of thing before?

While Hoogy’s away, who’ll be watching the forest?

wistfully, maybe they’ll talk about how to avoid park closures at the Ranger Convention.
