Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 04, 2024

The difference is that the building being useful is still the norm rather than the exception.

The last notable thing Walt did was induce nausea in the readers when we saw him suckling the end of that soup spoon.

I’ve seen school buildings that look like that in NYC.

Walt and that old building have bonded.

You can’t fight city hall.

Missing sentence in panel 1:

WALT (to Skeezix): I remember bringing you here to the building dedication!

If mayor Melba is included in this we may have a Rufus and Joel appearance too

A little leaning on the fourth wall, are we?

At least when they change the name of the town they won’t have to worry about having to pay for any changes on the “City Hall” building signage.

Regarding the last panel, one could say the same thing about Boston’s Old North Church. But it’s not likely to happen, since it’s been designated as an historic landmark.

O tried and the D’s and some R’s will keep trying. We old people just get in the way and on people’s nerves who only like mindless puppets who are programmed to shut up and do what they are told. Change for change’s sake, no matter what!! great motto for the world, don’t you think???

Like a few years ago when t hey were trying to save an old theatre, Scancarelli gives us some great old timey buildings that should be on the Historic register.
