LOOKS like Gasoline Alley is going to be one of the strips which gets to celebrate Christmas this year. Appearances of members of the Wallet family are so few and far between, I’m not sure I would recognize most of them if they put in an appearance! Still, it’s pretty sad that not even Gasoline Alley remembered Pearl Harbor Day on December 7! Not even Beetle Bailey and Blondie remembered either – and they were all there back in the day. In the meantime, my hat’s off to my Uncle Gabe, who was one of the first to be trained in the use of the newfangled stuff called radar – he joined before the conflict started – he’s the soldier we’re welcoming home in my profile photo. Because of his specialized training, Uncle Gabe saw service at Normandy, in India, Greece and worked against the Desert Fox – Rommel – in the Sahara. Also hats off to Uncle Loren, who was on a troop transport headed to Pearl Harbor when they received word of the attack. He was in the service during the entire conflict and eventually spent time in Tokyo as well as Korea. The Albin cousins and cousin Royce were at IwoJima. Hats off to Uncle Ernie, who was there when they liberated the concentration camps. Uncle Harley was involved in combat during the final days of World War II and the early days of Korea. Hats off today to all those who have served over the centuries – we owe more to them than we can ever repay.

Truly timeless. 2023 & Joel still has a pipe in a comic strip. They made Popeye quit. Andy Capp used to always have a cig.

At least that elf you scoff at is almost as tall as your Santa should be.
