Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 01, 2024

That person next to Sophie looks to be the same age as Gertie—so how could it be Ava Luna??

Future cat ladies of America society meeting !  You all should keep that food you brought as you will need it for what goes home with you.

Does one of those cans say Mice-A-Roni ?

The 3 Gossip Girls are back – And in the last panel they along with Gertie are in shadow form with Little Orphan Annie/Daddy Warbucks eyes!

Who will get the fourth kitty?

Don’t separate them from Mom too soon.How long is the weaning period?

From today’s Curmudgeon:

“Gasoline Alley will never try to confuse us with abrupt narrative shifts. In fact, if characters who we last saw a year and a half ago appear in the strip, Gasoline Alley will remind you what their names are by having another character say them out loud, in bold type! Gasoline Alley is just thoughtful like that, and as a rapidly aging member of its audience, I appreciate it.”

For those of you who many have forgotten, Aubee turned eight years old a couple of weeks ago. She remains very cartoonish while little Sophie turns semi-realistic. Poor Ava Luna, for some reason, has become rather grotesue.

Panel 2:

The Three Wiseacres?

It seems Jimbo’s ability to represent appropriate age has regressed, These are the least attractive children I have seen in the comic since I don’t know when. OTH, we are approaching Halloween.
