Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 16, 2009

“So there… humph”.

…and a hearty “Phbbbttt”!

He had me going, too.

“Bout time for Mrs. Bird to enter the picture.

Cue to background music of Etta James singing, “At Last.”

“Gertie, Terry and I have something to tell you….”

Hmmm, but was he really playin’?

Well let’s hope that after Gertie’s gone through, this reunion is all she hoped for.

Of course he is kidding. What else would you expect from Bird.

Ouch! Not a joke I’D like to hear after all my efforts!

The manager must be fit to be tied at this point. He ought to sell the theater and go spend retirement on a no-stress tropical island somewhere.

Finnaly they meet I am interested what will happen next. Will Byrd tell Gertie hey you weren’t interested in me so I moved on, or are you going to give me another chance now that you know I am someone special.

Maybb 5 tickets and they gave them to Walt to give one to her and he forgot?

Finally we have something going on. I didn’t think that Cinderella idea was going to fly. And where’s Walt? I still think he has the tickets.

Okay I have to admit, I have been enjoying this. What will happen now that Byrd has Bertie in his arms.

NotNorman….is it time for your nurse to change your Depends?

I think so, because he had been eager to speak with the lady who had performed so well with the Cackle Sisters. Only now, when he sees that lady is Gertie, does he pretend that he is angry.

If any of you GA fans would like to read the strip in the days when Walt first found Skeezix… I see that Bud Plant has Walt & Skeezix HC Volume 1 for just $9.99!!
