Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 10, 2023

Man !  He is one ugly lookin’ goomer. :-O

I fell asleep getting an MRI in spite of the incessant clanking of the machine. The US Army teaches you to sleep anywhere, anytime.

Man, he had a fast relapse from yesterday.

At least he didn’t say circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.

In our Facebook group today:

Gasoline Alley “years ago today” for July 10:

100 (1923) – Bill gives Phyllis TMI and now she is intrigued

80 (1943) – Wolf is in a wheelchair; plus, war news from this date

75 (1948) – The vacation is ending

60 (1963) – Pert proposes a wager

well, the best one wouldn’t be a picture of you

bears a resemblance to Jerry Lewis in last panel

All he gets is a “Wallet” size .

Joel must be the one with the brain cell.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Obviously the art in Gasoline Alley is not what you call realistic — see for instance, Rufus’s whole [gestures vaguely at his grotesque face] deal. So while it’s common in real life for a loose-fitting hospital gown to slip down the shoulder of a supine patient still groggy from a head injury, in this context it’s a deliberate choice — a choice to make Rufus look sexy. I don’t care for it. Don’t care for it one bit!

Henny Youngman just called and wants his joke back.

And as the old saying goes—“X-rays of his head showed nothing”

I would be interested if the haint shows up as a nebulous semi-transparent mass in his head.
