Uh-Oh … ✨

Maybe just taking a nap?

You guessed it, Skeezix’s old car is Clovia’s new car, 51 years ago today in the Alley:

uh-oh.

Finally, what you’ve been waiting for all these years…

Oh, shoot. Now I’m worried.

Don’t even go there.

Is this leading into the next Gasoline Alley story arc?

maybe he cant hear the phone… but if they did finally let him die it better not have been off screen that would be the final insult and proof Scancarelli has no respect for the strip or its history

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones

Folks, the tradition of the “Uncle Walt is dead” scare goes back at least 50 years in this strip ; )

Oh, ohhh.

Like a bad penny, Mister Jinx turns up again at Brenda’s doorstep and he wants to talk. Our Starr reporter agrees to a lunch date because she thinks she knows what’s behind all this, and Messick hints that we have the clues as well. Suggestions, peanut gallery?

A circus act where you fly a plane into the side of a building? Sounds like that great act Daffy Duck pitched where he could upstage Bugs at last, only he could just do the act once…

The Time Tunnel may be leaking some oil, as Lynde manages to put the lost cavalry post of Fort Chaos somewhere in the middle between the Old West of the 1870s and present day 1960.

Fortunately for us, trying to explain how these men survived on their own for the last 60 years or so pales in comparison to trying to explain how they haven’t seemed to age in all that time, so we can dismiss it all as too silly to be explained – roll with it ; )

Voiceover from Han Solo: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”

Uh-oh… time to cue Rosa Rio and her Hammond B-2 organ, read a commercial or two and come back with “Vic and Sade”…..or was it “Stella Dallas?”

Uh oh…..
