Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for May 17, 2011

A new storyline? Pinch me someone!

Yes, refreshing isn’t it? But long before it’s over there will be those complaining about this story line too.

Boog will get the whole Cousin Chubsy situation straightened out.

Yay, Boog!

Boog was born in August of 2007, but I don’t have the exact date. Does anyone else have it?

Depends on the grandparents.

Is 3.5 “almost 7”?

That’s all that’s gonna happen with the previous storyline? And hey, does anyone know what became of Gretchen, Slim and Clovia’s daughter? I haven’t heard anything of her since I started following GA again a couple years ago.

Slim and Clovia called Rover and Hoogy over to hit them up for a loan – to get them past the cash-flow problem Cousin Cousin caused. Given the crushing poverty of Gasoline Alley, their best bet may be breaking open Boog’s piggy bank.

Age drift happens in real life, too. For example, I’m 29.

If Hoogy were Clovia’s daughter, I could certainly see where she would have gotten her good looks.

Boog was born (by C-section) on September 08, 2004. http://www.gocomics.com/gasolinealley/2004/09/08/ He wasn’t named until Oct. 1, 2004 — after Hoogy’s father. Boog Boogle.
