Jim, if you wish to start a new strip with different characters that is fine. Other dual strips such as Beetle Bailey & Hi and Lois, as well as Zits and Baby Blues come quickly to mind. However, with respect Gasoline Alley (GA), please return to using the ‘folks’ we have come to know over many many years.
Since GA (unlike others such as Blondie) runs on real time, I am sure you are concerned with how long you can keep some – Uncle Walt, to be specific – in the strip. About a year back I made a simple – keeping in mind this is a comic, not reality – suggestion. You have already introduced the Old Cartoon Characters Retirement Home. (It is/was great to see, again, some memorable faces!) Without specifically recognizing Walt’s death, just let him move into the Retirement Home. From there you can develop (to the extent permitted by various copy rights) story lines with other residents. Set up the front porch as some sort of ‘in-between place.’ Walt can come out on the porch and visit other regular GA characters. In turn, he cannot come any further nor can they enter the Home. Jim, these are just a few thoughts from one long time fan. I am confident you can work this so GA will continue indefinitely.
You can submit the damaged money to your bank. If it does not meet their guidelines, you must submit it to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where it will be evaluated on a case by case inspection. Depending on the amount and condition of the money, it could take quite awhile to see any result.
It probably won’t help at all, but there is a Tribune Media comment box for Gasoline Alley —http://www.tmsfeatures.com/bio/jim-scancarelli/ It probably empties right into a trashcan.

I love the regular charactors too. This story line needs a name of it’s on;something like …Beyond Gasoline Alley.

True, but why has Jim deserted the GA characters and omitted them from the current story arc?
