Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 18, 2024

To figure out what to do with the wood, they have a board meeting!

‘Frank Nelson’… making little ones out of big ones for much of his life.

The narrator actually hit the deadline in time, a full classics update for the 18th is already up and posted:

It’s a wonder Skeezix turned out to the fine citizen he grew up to be. I certainly can’t give Walt’s parenting any credit.

It makes much more sense that Jessie Bell grew up to be Daddy’s Little Devil. And she’s brought in a torpedo to back her play in the Shebang valley.

“Big hitter, the Ally Khat.” He doesn’t carry cash, but mere bellboys are making retirement plans based on the tips the Sultan hands out.

Nina breaks a broom over the man looking to get his calf back. Is this resolved so easily? What happens if he finds out there was no wedding after all? I remember when beef owners would hang a cattle rustler.

Um—where are the men who are supposed to be under those hats??

Hmm…

They turn lumber into toothpicks?

There’s the snarky Frank Nelson we were expecting.

I can’t be sure, but didn’t someone call “toothpicks” in the comments a few days ago?

What do they do with the sawdust?

Wow !  Oops !   I forgot the updates but they’ll be on tonight.
