Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 04, 2020

Baleen looks like she’s had some cosmetic surgery done while she was gone.

Nice burn by Baleen – “all seriousness aside” (so I’m joking) “it’s good to see you, Slim.”

Slim doesn’t look quite his usual self either, is it possible Jim took on an assistant?

I’m not sure why you forgot what a good burger tastes like. They’re damned easy to cook.

Baleen handles Corky’s diner nowadays?

I know Sundays are stand alone’s, but this makes me wish they weren’t – I’m so over the current weekday story arc that I’d actually welcome some Baleen stories

“All seriousness aside”? That’s MY line! I’ve been using it for years!! Royalties…. ;-)

“Oh, boy! Corky’s is open for eating again! I wonder if all of those dice tables, slot machines and girls are still here, or whether they’re gone!”

I bit in to the burger, and it whinnied.

This must be a NEW strip if the diner was closed for awhile due to the pandemic, yet again no mask is being worn by Slim or Baleen.

It just dawned on me that this would be a good time for Scanarelli to note the uniqueness of Walt, that he has survived TWO pandemics.

But I guess it’s a lot more fun telling buffoon stories during the week and every other Sunday.

Shall we assume that Walt has been resuscitated by now? Or on life support?

Soooooo… dog food?
