Yesterday, Firebrand1 said, “Great strip today The punch line was telegraphed butstill enjoyable. Sad that passing by snobs sneer at great comics.”I couldn’t agree more. This strip started in 1920 & still survives. Some people see it as simple, and see that as a bad thing. I see it as innocent / non-controversial. It’s just uncomplicated & entertaining in its own way. As kids, some of us liked Sesame Street or Captain Kangaroo. As we grew older, maybe we outgrew them, but that didn’t mean they were stupid when we watched them. What’s wrong with a new generation of fans liking Gasoline Alley? I’m still enjoying the ride.
