Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 16, 2023

Sneaky.

I love her name.

That was truth in advertising alright.

The seventy-year-old man with the face of a one-year-old baby.

False advertising!!

Just what the sign says!

Just barely legal. Not that anyone polices confusing advertising claims, so buyer beware at all times.

What is this place you are thinking of, Slim – White Castle or Krystal?

And today in our Facebook group:

Gasoline Alley “years ago today” for July 16:

100 (1923) – Is Avery just ahead of Walt on the cross-country race?

80 (1943) – Skeezix tells Wolf how he knows Dr. Meager; plus, war news from this date

75 (1948) – Skeezix and Bix talk over each other

60 (1963) – Doc orders Joel to get the horse to the track

BONUS: 45 (1978) – Walt tells Phyllis he’s concerned about allowing Rufus and Joel to use the lake cottage

get a couple for Rufus

Slim .

The stories from the past were much better!

Slim must be a competitive eater—or, at least, have visions of being one.

Whatever happened to the former waitress at Corky’s Diner before Baleen came along?

Will Jimbo never run out of “groaners”?

Gweedo sent me a note last night that he wasn’t able to post. He keeps getting this message: “Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.”

You will have to backtrack to yesterday to get his links.

Slim’s an eating machine. He can be the “Joey Chestnuts” of burgers!!
