    No, @wandle, although Jessica is Wilmer Bobble’s wife, he is not a crooked assemblyman. He is crooked senator. Jessica looks pretty good for a person probably in her eighties.

    “SMALL BUSINESS: We Tackle Anything”Time Magazine (Mon., Dec. 31, 1945)

    Two former Army mechanics who did not feel they could support their war brides on the salaries offered to them last week decided to risk their meager savings in a repair shop. Their motto: “We tackle anything.” Principals in the firm: ex-Staff Sergeant Skeezix Wallet, and his friend Wilmer Bobble of Frank O. King’s famed comic strip Gasoline Alley. In their first week, Wallet & Bobble spent most of their time repairing Christmas tree lights. Total take: $11.65.

    Wilmer probably skipped the country one step ahead of the ethics committee investigation.

    Jessica is the wife of Wilmer Bobble, who partnered with Skeezix in the fix-it business they started after WW2 that led to them opening the Gasoline Alley Garage. Wilmer met and married Jessica, who had been a flighty teen in Skeezix’s high school class and was friendly with Nina. Wilmer became an alderman, mayor and later a senator, and eventually inherited a lot of his uncle Uriah Pert’s money. I wonder if this panel was Jessica’s last appearance in the strip? Wilmer showed up in a Sunday strip in 2019.
