Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for February 10, 2022

Even Skeezix can’t remember that far back.

It must be lonely sometimes when you realize you have outlived all the people you grew up with and the friends you knew for so many years.

The mistakes is it’s about Skeezix, not Walt.

If you see the GA strips from the 1910’s and 20’s Walt is wearing a sailor’s cap A.K.A. a dixie cup.

“In the Navy…you want to sail the seven seas…”

“In the Army.” “No, Navy!” “Yeah—-right”

I’m hoping this arc leads to another trip down memory lane as Walt recalls his past.

I got here late, and just caught up the week’s worth of strips. “The” movie studio is making a biopic of Walt’s life? (There’s only one studio in the entire GA universe?) Why would any studio make a biopic of an ordinary citizen, however long-lived? Is the Wright Bros. reference just a joke about Hollywood inaccuracy? (Unless GA is now located in Ohio?) This plot seems even more far-fetched than the usual Joel and Rufus lunacy. Perhaps Walt is dreaming?

Doesn’t matter he would have heard of it sometime.
