Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 17, 2009

She likes him!

And she’s no dummy. That’s a man who knows how to wash dishes.

You may be right, stringmuse, but I can’t recall if we’ve actually seen him wash one yet!

I don’t think “You’ve got the prettiest black eyes I’ve ever seen” quite constitutes sexual harassment. Maybe she should lighten up a bit.

True axe, we haven’t. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. The plates in the middle panel look clean!

Looks to me like repartee, not harassment.

Can joint checking be far behind?

Byrd’s expression in panel three is great. That bird dont need to say a word.

How is it the place was mobbed when Slim was struggling to help out, but this guy has time to hang over the counter to flirt with Gertie? I also notice that the sketching of some characters, such as these two, look far more “lifelike” than others, like Joel and Rufus. Anyone know why this might be?

I wouldn’t call it sexual harassment, but I would probably be uncomfortable and irritated if some employee started hitting on me while I was trying to eat in a restaurant. It’s happened to me before and it just made me want to leave.

This is how all love stories begin.

I think it’s sexual harassment in the legal sense only if they both work there. From what I’ve seen, NEITHER of them does!

Norm, That’s a rather odd assertion coming from someone who just a few days ago made a crude comment about Clovia’s anatomy.
