Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 14, 2012

What is Slim doing way out in the fields?

Looking for used car parts no doubt, maybe he will find some in the cart he’ll ride in.

This arc looks more promising than the broken DVD one. I like Skeezix, but the possibility of Rufus and Joel getting Slim in some dangerous, precarious, perhaps life-threatening situation is appealing.

Slim can go home and boast to Clovia that he was recognized as out standing in his field.

I could be wrong, but I think I could walk faster than Becky.

With Slim’s big butt he’ll be riding both in the front and in the back.

Probably has something to do with Lucky.

Don’t make Becky pull that fatty!

When I come upon really old comic sections at flea markets, yard sales and antiquue shops I am amazed how large the printing of comic strips was. It seems that comics have been a nuisance to editors who have tried to cut them down and practically eliminated them all together! Forget continuity of a story it is all about quick jokes sight gags today. Color was reserved for Sundays only now it’s everyday. GA is one of the strips has suffered the cuts but Jim has managed to keep it going very well despite the limitations.

Next frame — mule in air.
