Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 05, 2023

Does Jim think readers won’t recognize Rufus without his hat on, or does he think that hospitals won’t remove it even when you’re there for a head injury?

Time for Ruuf to go to the home for the mentally deranged or to be enrolled in pre school.

The circles on Ruufy’s soles indicate wear through holes to me. LOL !

Oh he’s in for a reality check in short order, as anyone who has had a CT scan can readily attest. Not exactly a picnic.

Rufus.

Put. Your Legs. DOWN.

Please!!

Hot stuff coming through?

And…the blanket is suddenly gone.

And in the Facebook group today:

Gasoline Alley “years ago today” for July 5:

100 (1923) – Making auto repairs in Brookfield, MO

80 (1943) – A nurse alerts Wolf that it’s time for his bath; also, war news from this date

75 (1948) – Vacationing in the trailer park

60 (1963) – Joel is treating the horse very well

It looks like the orderly is about to ram Rufus at top speed into the wall at the end of the hall.

the alarm in the staff in front of him is because he has raised his legs in his hospital gown

Rufus remembers when he was a kid, but not his name?

Are they rushing to make Rufus well, or just hurrying to get him out of there fast before he infects the other patients with terminal Hee-Haw SHow disease?
