Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 30, 2009

I see it just fine. What browser are you using?

Safari - same one I have used for years and years now.

It depends on WHEN you check them. Mark Trail is like that now for me.

Skeezix look for Gerti while you in there.

I’m using Opera, and so far I’ve had no trouble. Not here or on “Andy Capp” which is the other comic I’ve seen this complaint mentioned at.

Skeezix’s survival skills are still intact.

With the “whole deck”, he could buy out at least one store, then his kids could spend their lives paying off the interest…

Hole punches make nifty plastic confetti out of them! Take THAT, Mr. 29.9%!

Has the gap between interest paid on bank accounts and interest charged on credit cards ever been so wide?

Nice seeing Skeezix and Nina today.

Sheesh. I have one credit card, with a zero balance, a high limit and 8.9 annual percentage rate from my credit union. Shop around people!

I have a better way of handling it: I don’t own a single credit card. If I don’t have the money in the bank for something, that’s God’s way of telling me I can’t afford it. No interest rates, no huge credit card debt, no nothing.

Some of our posters don’t seem to get the play on words in the second last panel of the comic today.

Nice word-play. She could interest most men in a bikini.

Well - UCLICK seems to be working today. What is odd is that I could read the same comics on other web pages without a problem - just not on UCLICK.

We paid off all of our credit cards and then closed all of the accounts back in 1999 because we were afraid that the people who said that computers would go haywire in Y2K MIGHT be right. After the New Year had turned - it was such a good feeling NOT to worry about the credit cards and their soaring interest rates - that we have used only a debit card since 1999. We have probably saved several thousand dollars just by NOT paying all of that high interest on credit cards! We can highly recommend being credit-card free!

Devonshade said, “Saleslady asking a guy if he’s interested in a bikini,…C’mon thats a stretch.”

I thought that too, but I suppose the fact that he’s standing there looking at them invites the question!

Is he checking out the fanny of the person ahead of him on the escalator in panel three?

jtpo and Sasksled: You got it right. For those that didn’t, Skeezix interpretaion is, “Could I interest you (if I were) in a bikini?”

Dypak said, “Is he checking out the fanny of the person ahead of him on the escalator in panel three?”

Now that you mention it, Skeezix does seem to be on the prowl throughout!

Let’s hope Nina straightens him out before he makes a fool of himself.

I know I havent posted much lately. Am I wrong in thinking NotNorman has been absent as well?

Oh Skeezix, you would look silly in a bikini.
