He may play the part for a while, but now that his truck is fixed, he may never go into town at all. And poor Rev. Warren Peacegood is still stranded somewhere.
I think in this instance everyone is being too harsh on Slim. He’s never met Rev. Peacegood so there is really no way to know this dude’s an imposter. Just because he’s not dressed like a Minister doesn’t mean he isn’t. All Slim knows is that a broken down car driven by someone who says he’s the good Rev. needs to be fixed. I think the real question is how could Slim fix the car so quickly at the roadside yet be a total buffoon at the garage?
Mark Trail,
If memory serves me right, and it usually does, about forty years ago Slim got into snit with Clovia over the attention from another guy. Slim went out in a huff and drove his car into a piece of sewer pipe laying above ground. As Slim drove into the pipe, it gave way and Slim rolled down a hill and crashed into a tree. That must be the source of Slim’s lack of mental acuity!

Slim has always been a bit “slow”.

No marktrail, Slim is like GA’s version (minus of course the extreme strength) of Obelix!

Upton’s scheme has two chances for success: Slim and none.

I think we’ll never hear his first sermon because he’ll be out of there.

In the last panel, the woman is looking at Slim like she’s thinking “maybe slow but kind would be better than sly but mean”.

What he isn’t supposed to do now will really trip him up.
