Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 30, 2024

I would not be surprised if Cher, the Byrds (and composer Bob Dylan, for that matter) would take exception to the use of that opening line in the first panel, as such.

Panel Two: Can you put an eye out… of a Blind Mouse?

There’s a classics update for the 29th posted just a bit before midnight:

All the local dog sellers descend on Uncle Walt after Skeezix passes the word that the family is in the market for a watchdog.

Jessie Bell gets a taste of Hipshot, then left in the dust to figure out what happened. Clarion McCall re-enters the chat.

Billow Puffmore can’t believe what he just saw, but it’s Mr. Antone reaping the benefits of “Extreme Makeover: Nevera Edition”. I think that’s Lady Plushbottom from Moon Mullins who’s first in line.

If Slim was able to solve Chipper’s brown shoe problem, I’d have thought it would involve a can or two of Black Shinola.

Cat’s in a trance. … Pull that finger BACK, Gertie or watch it become lunch ! :-O

Is tuna finally the one she fancies?!

I’m usually very tolerant of when GA goes off on a silly tangent, but this one is starting to bug me. We’ve had many cats, they get dry food. They will eat it.

Non-GA question for the troops here; Are you finding the need to sign-in again to GoComics every third day or so?

Don’t get a lot of tuna to cats. Promotes kidney stones.

Had an orange tabby who wouldn’t eat anything BUT canned cat food tuna

Sieg and Kline—-still luv ya!!

will they do an encore on Sunday?

I thought the stakes couldn’t get lower than “small town changes it’s name”, but then we had “tree falls over, causing no damage while enabling light insurance fraud”. I wouldn’t have believed you could get less interesting than that, but after a week of “the cat isn’t eating exactly when expected to”, I’m starting to wonder if there even is such a thing as the lowest-possible stakes, and Jim will just keep finding something even less urgent every week until we’re in the middle of a two-week arc where Walt tries to guess the way a quantum particle will decay.

Enough about the cat, move on.

Like a bad dream.

Do us all a favor and get rid of the mice!
