Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 06, 2024

They must have at least several thousands of those “D” cells to even have a prayer.

Enough power for an old school boombox, maybe?

Or perhaps the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer. Though I doubt Arty would use such outmoded tech in his flying saucer.

But getting the thrusters to fire up, get them out of Mars orbit and on course back to Earth? That’s one I don’t think the Energizer Bunny could pull out of his hat.

The classics update for the 6th is up:

Walt takes the Alley Cats up to the cottage to get their opinions, but it’s all raspberries. Typical of this group of jokers.

Marshal Rick is watching anyone who comes into town to whoop it up after a hard week of punching cows. And he’s keeping track.

Gracie goes to a mob-connected business to figure out where she can find George. I guess the ‘action’ is in the back room, if you know somebody.

Some stranger is the cause of Skeezix’s annoyance this week, but it’s his own garage staff that’s bent over backwards to help a freeloader.

Wait’ll they write all this on their school papers! Their teacher will probably recommend psychotherapy!!

Each “D” is 1.5 volts, they will need quite a few!

How does a robot get chubby?

Will we ever see GA again?

Can’t Ida Noe just beam them all back home like she did to get Jones there?

But if they use the flashlights they’ll have to fly home in the dark
