Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 02, 2009

Caught by Byrd, I’ll betcha a dollar.

HEADLINE: “Gasoline Alley woman, 54, gunned down in a welter of hemp at concert …”

Looks like she is on the catwalk. Will she be dropping in on Bird?

She’ll fall twenty feet into Bird’s loving arms!

If she falls on him, he will be squashed like a grape….

Oh please let it be Byrd and not that lousy security guard again!

If it is Byrd, he won’t recognize her with all that make-over. Or was that “…where are you going?” directed at someone else?

Give Gertie credit for determination. I maybe the only who likes this story. No angry comments on me either please.

Someone mentioned the old Johnny Cash show that was on years ago. There at that time was a long time friend of Mr. Johnny Cash another country singer Johnny Western who also performed on that show. Well even people who watch that show may not remember the man but Johnny Western is still live and still performs he is a radio disjockey in Wichita, KS and still does sings the old western songs and talks about his days with Johnny and June Carter Cash.

I wonder if a stage hand will mistake her for Byrd’s opening act and direct her onstage before she has a chance to explain herself!

They’re not talking to Gertie - they’re talking to the cat that snuck in.

Good thought, Ed. I think you might be closer.

Poor Gertie’s dress must be as damp as a dish rag, she’s been pretty active all week and, ahem, perspiring quite a bit.

Yes, Dypak, don’t you just hate it when you’re all dressed up, and suddenly find yourself wrestling ushers and doormen, tossing around trash cans, and dashing along catwalks? I always wish I’d dressed more casually.

kab2rb You’re not alone, I like the storyline, too. I figure the naysayers (exempting constructive criticisms) don’t have much to do, hence they’re trolling around the comics pages trying to rain on the parades. Ignore them.

As for the strip….YOU GO GERTIE!!!!
