Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 27, 2018

If anyone ever opts to revive “Mutt & Jeff,” they should give Jim a call, to see if he’d be interested. ✨❤️✨

Shazam’s anachronistic, alas; it was coined nearly twenty years later.

I’s so cool to see the original Gasoline Alley gang again.

Jim was an assistant for George Breisacher on M & J and did the final weeks by himself then moved on to work as Dick Moore’s assistant on GA

A few days ago (or maybe a few weeks ago? I’m almost as old as Walt haha) – Someone posted a link to a website with a timeline of Gasoline Alley. I neglected to make a note of it at the time but I’d love a second chance if someone would be so kind as to share once again. Thank you.

MUTT (to Walt): Shazam?

WALT: Yes. A 10-year-old boy, last name of Beck, said he made up the name but we could use it if we wanted to.

or alternatively:

WALT: Yes. Some guy said it was his name and he could use it. I remember it had a weird return address: “Subway Tunnel, Fawcett City”.

I’m only now realizing the names in the first panel are variants of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – the names given to the four Gospels of the New Testament.
