Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 04, 2022

Oy Vey !

Tomorrow is the Day of Atonement.

Let us pray that this strip gets a new writer—one with imagination!!

The concert is over now?

This is my second week following this strip and I have absolutely no idea of what’s going on except that that second panel is UGLY. But the lettering is cool.

If you wanna see and listen to good piano boogie woogie check out Brendan Kavanaugh. I swear these comics are him.

I miss Gasoline Alley. Who are these people?

Why is this unknown artist being pimped for over a week? If you google his name none of the initial hits appear to be him.

By the way, some of you were wondering why Terrence wasn’t pinched by mall security. I’d just like to say that he was “busking” in the way that some people perform in downtown outdoor areas, usually playing smaller, more portable instruments, such as guitars, trumpets, and the like.

He obviously got permission from the mall officials to perform there, in what’s likely an assigned space for him.

Speaking of musicians, I just found out a queen of country has just passed away at the age of 90.

She was “proud to be a Coal Miner’s Daughter” — R. I. P. Loretta Lynn.

She will be missed.

The plot line might not have moved along this time with the sudden twists and turns of a soap opera plot line. But the emphasis on above the mainstream musical fare more than made up for that for me. Whichever way things go next, I for one would not mind seeing Walt being involved in it as much as possible.

I might have given a thumb’s up a week or so back, but not now, definitely not now.
