Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 17, 2023

Is this EVER going to end?

Prezactly? Ok!

Anyone else notice this arc is in its 3rd month?

And today in our Facebook group, when Rufus and Joel spoke real words:

Gasoline Alley “years ago today” for July 17:

100 (1923) – What route should Walt take from Denver?

80 (1943) – Skeezix wonders what Nina is doing back home; also, war news from this date

75 (1948) – Nina asks Skeezix about Bix’s baby

60 (1963) – Walt’s and Doc’s horse throws Hogan to the ground

BONUS: 45 (1978) – Rufus and Joel argue after the former lost both the directions and the cottage key

Alright already !

Who’s on first.

This has been going on for 3 months now. Is this just gonna be the strip’s new status quo? Has “who’s Rufus” become the go-to punchline when Jim can’t think of anything else?

Bring Kitty, that should jar his memory. Or perhaps Mayor Melba.

Just hit that rube over the head with a solid plank, he’ll wake up , or go back to his dim bulb self .

Looks like a 1945 hospital room. Likely will be discharged before dinner , when Medicaid denies coverage.

If you don’t recognize your name as “Rufus”, what do you think your name is?

While we’re at it, Who’s Yehudi?

This storyline really went stale.
