Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for June 14, 2020

Walt thinks about how long Mr. Jingles has lived every night in bed.

Great job, Jim!

…And Then There’s Maud…

Or is that Balleen The wacky queen who can not make a friend bc her mind is shot. (Though her soul is not) the crazy lady now leaving the scene.

Maud! Oh. I must sayI am quite impressedNot only in her obedienceBut how she’s always dressed. She survived the school of Hard Knocks. (And I know that’s hard to do) working by her man each day showing her love is true.

Funny thing about Krazy Kat. Creator George Herriman died in 1944, before the time of most of us. Yet that strip appears to be as well known amongst discerning aficionados almost as well as many of the current strips are. Great art is obviously timeless.

There’s Bill! Now where are Doc and Avery?

There’s the Dragon Lady!

This strip is a rerun as well from April 11, 2010

Notary Sojac.

This is one of the reprint strips right? Since then, Katy Keene has gotten her own CW show, and both the Dragon Lady (shown behind Terry in panel 4) and Harold Teen have made guest appearances in Dick Tracy.

This one brought a real smile!

That’s so cool!

I wonder if Calvin and Hobbes live there? And they better make room for the gang at Stone Soup!

I remember when the Boston Globe Sunday Funnies carried Mutt n’ Jeff, and Penny!

Who’s the lady in green? Penny?

In green is the fashionable Katy Keene. Penny, by Harry Haenigsen, is the redhead, with her prominent jawline and smile.
