Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 19, 2013

FINALLY!

I was beginning to think he didn’t exist.

I wonder if Guido is going to be like the neighbor on Home Improvement…we never see his face…

Just as I figured his indignity would be hidden by a text bubble.

He looks like an older man?

Hillbilly man.I think identity is spelled “IDENTITY”

I don’t know about you but I think I hear wedding bells!

(1) Some agent. Boyfriend or fiancé?

(2) Identity crisis – or is it indignity crisis? While likely indignity came from those overly aggressive and inaccurate auto-correct algorithms, indignity seems to be the best description of what is going on here!

Slim looks bewildered when he finally sees him, and what is it that Guido is wearing?

It was always better in the old comic to not have their characters age.

Nice shading on the coat.

As for a ghost writer, Paul 1963 used to do great alternative story lines.

The character played by Roberto Benini. He always called his girl friend Principessa.

By the way, the movie was called “Life is Beautiful.”

And the main character was named Guido. Although the woman was his wife and the story took place during the Holocaust.

AT LAST ! Guido!!
