Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 17, 2023

If only Sherri Lewis were writing this. There would be some snapping good lines.

Unfortunately true, Mr. Bear!

Today in our Facebook group:

Gasoline Alley “years ago today” for August 17:

100 (1923) – Mrs. Blossom questions Avery on the whereabouts of Walt and Skeezix

80 (1943) – Nina wants to learn to be a molder; also, war news from this date

75 (1948) – Did three-year-old Chipper get into Blunt’s yard?

60 (1963) – A clue on the book’s purchaser?

45 (1978) – Slim received a call from his mother

The kid is a mystery, wrapped in a Jones t-shirt.

Shouldn’t the Ranger be doing something about the fire? I mean, I know that it is cool and all when a talking bear drops in, but hey, the forest IS on fire.

Scancarelli has lost it. dimwitted stuff!

How did the bear get inside the fire tower? Bears can climb trees, but can they climb ladders?

Maybe Jones is the name of his school?

The kid could be on a team, his shirt is a team shirt, and “Jones” is the sponsor.

oh this is a hot one

Oh, the possibilities are endless.
