Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Many of King’s fabulous original Gasoline Alley strips are available in reprints. The title for the dailies is “Walt & Skeezix” (Drawn and Quarterly Press), five volumes in print, the next one due out Fall. “Gasoline Alley: The Complete Sundays” (Dark Horse Books) prints the colored pages in huge full size, two volumes so far. If you don’t want to pay for the complete Sundays, I highly recommend the gorgeous “Sundays With Walt and Skeezix” (Last Gasp). The current strip is a pale shadow of its former glory under King.
They’re smaller now, and story arcs longer than six days are strongly discouraged, apart from the legacy soap-opera strips like “Apartment 3-G”. And there is no room for Frank King’s magnificent Sunday compositions.
But oh! how I wish for news of events in Glovania after the fall of the Iron Curtain! Was there no movement to restore Grand Duke Allison at all?

A nice tribute by Jim to Frank King, the man who created “Gasoline Alley”. Always good to pay tribute to your roots!

If that balloon really is hot-dog shaped it might be able to fly somewhat closer to the buildings —still going to be a stretch though!
