Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 15, 2013

Now this is perfect in so many ways! The “down” joke is funny. And the “Pogo” tribute is outstanding!

What that department store needs is a Walt Kelly special. We’ll call it the “Pogo Bogo”

Was that the Boston Charlie who rode the train forever on the MTA? ;-)

In any case, thank you Jim Scancarelli for this.

attention all are stoled by nina

I heard about a Chinese man going shopping with his girlfriend and she kept him at it for 5 hours till he finally freaked out and jumped off the 11th floor of a building while she was having one final look at some shoes in a store. Guys and Gals are just a little different when it comes to shopping but that was extreme. ;-)

I remember seeing the first 3 lines of the Pogo version…I believe the third line was “Homer’s stuck up on the trolley…” It made a bit of an impression on me, as my grandfather’s name was Homer.

Shopping at age 92 and both Skeezix and Nina look in tip top form. Are your parents or grandparents at 90 out shopping too?

Pogo Pogone. (Sniffle.)

That brings back a lot of memories…

Great strip and excellent comments today!

Thumbs up.

Thanks for a tip of the artist’s pen to one of my cherished holiday memories Jim!

Everyone make sure to go check out “Rabbits Against Magic” today. It’s a wonderful tribute to the funny pages.

Sometimes, I feel like I married Nina.

I always liked Holland Owl. " Our only son got blowen up in the sprocket factory. Which only son? Our only son ain’t a which."

My favorite comic strip of the mid-50’s on is well represented here in what was also my favorite comic at the time. Thank you for the Merry Christmas.

Yeah, but it was the record company who made them do it. They just didn’t want any legal trouble. It probably wouldn’t have been a big deal, but…..well…..we got Poco out of the deal, so life is good.
