With this level of aggravation Joel’s lingo needs to upgrade to the time honored rassa-frassas of old, back to when ’toons used stronger language when things got too tight.
And, yet again, the Comics Curmudgeon sets its sights on GA. Somebody needs to tell Jimbo that is not a good sign.
“Speaking of off-putting, I can decide which possibility I find weirder: that we’re expected to believe that random people in the Gasoline Alley universe send letters looking for advice to Joel, a weird old man who does not have a newspaper column or blog or any other public venue in which to answer them, or that we’re expected to believe that people in the real world send letters looking advice to the creators of Gasoline Alley so that they can be answered in character by Joel in a Sunday strip. For the record, I don’t believe either of these things! I simply refuse to! I believe in a world that makes sense, darn it!”
I know if I’m ever looking for advice about love, I too like to write unsolicited letters to elderly alcoholics who live in a junkyard, in a one-room shack which they share with a donkey. An illiterate elderly alcoholic, it should be noted.

My first thought when seeing the title panel was Joel must’ve moved to Texas!

I used to live in Vermont. Mosquitoes are the Vermont state bird.
