Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 09, 2017

So good to see Walt!

Ah, the great Walt Kelly and Walt Wallet. Delightful trip to recent history.

This has been another episode of ‘Old People Complaining About Things Today’.

In Frank King’s original Gasoline Alley, it was Skeezix who collected postmarks (during the Depression) rather than Walt. To be fair, I suppose Walt could have done it, too, but the strip made a point of Skeezix doing the collecting as an inexpensive but fun collection to have. I wonder why Skeezix wasn’t the central figure for today’s strip instead of Walt?

Not too many folks still around who have postcards that were mailed to them 104 years ago.

I’m pretty sure Possum Kingdom is here in Texas. Nowhere near Oatmeal, though.

Masterful artful work on the postmark panel!

Does Walt have an email address?

We still compose words in a ,more or less, coherent way to communicate with the world but have invented a new way of condensing and sharing the composition.

A relief from cats, Joel and Rufus!

Make Uncle Walt go to that big comic strip in the sky. Please!
