Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for November 22, 2023

Yes, he’s less than happy!

More like flip you two out.

Keep driving!

Zoom past and point the truck toward Mexico!!

The 22nd brings a three-handed update, Rufus is officially a candidate for Wet Dog, you won’t believe what’s in Timber’s (stolen) jacket pocket… and Shady Lane rides out to present the Chief of the Kyutes with his credentials.

Step on it, Ruufy and don’t look back.

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography

All of a sudden, Rufus’ grammar is nearly impeccable.

On the left is the Carolina Panthers football stadium, containing the only men more inept than Joel&Rufus!!

Slim will miss Thanksgiving dinenr at home.They’ll re-run Sunday’s strip tomorrow, and Friday only pitiful leftovers will remain

the strip just keeps getting dopier and dopier.

I don’t know why Slim’s so mad when really it’s his own fault for trusting these two halfwits in the first place. It’s like asking your dog to mail a package for you and then getting upset when it runs off and treats it like a chew toy instead.

Slim looks mad enough to chew neutronium.

I would think, in the time it took for the repair crew to put out cones to close off that lane, in the time it took for Joel and Rufus to return, someone would have rescued Slim.

Stu Dolgon is moving over to Threads next year. Does anyone have any info about this site?

He should be mad. It’s his truck!

Slum probably has “magnesia” now from the fall, just like Ruthless did. That’s not his usual expression of relentless optimism.
