Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for April 15, 2012

Why is she just sitting there watching him screw it all up?

She seems to be the brain of the family. Why doesn’t she do the taxes?

Just change the name to General [A]lectric, and enter Zero due!

Everyone cut Slim a little slack . . . at least HE is doing his own taxes . . . which makes him in the 17% of Americans who do so. You rock, Slim.

I wouldn’t have thought they made enough money to pay taxes.

At one time GA had a skeleton based on reality with the humor based on human foibles. We now have characters used to deliver “puns”. Consistency of character traits (Clovia does the company books and would do the taxes) is ignored for the cheap attempt at a laugh.

See Ripleys.

Only one I’ve seen is on Chuckle Brothers.

I have been wondering for a long time now why the artist changed her hair color to pink?

@ axe-grinderI was a big fan of the all the Golden Age super hero clubs. Substitue Heros, Super Pets, Super Villians, Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heros. Who can forget Beppo, the Supermonkey, or Comet, the Super-Horse?

Believe It or Not today’s Ripleys.

Actually, under the newest law passed the government has the freedom to seize anytime they want to for any reason. Get used to big brother people, he’s got teeth now. Constitution? Used to be law, now it’s just a list of suggestions…

Am I the only one who got Jim’s joke about Buffalo Chips? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_dung#Variants

coldsooner, I’d be very interested in reading the law you cited. What is the Public Law number and what was the date of enactment? You could give me the Statutes at Large or U.S. Code citation, if it’s easier.

HOOORAY1 NO CATS!
