Buckles by David Gilbert for February 17, 2024

I quite like the ending of this arc! Kudos, Mr. Gilbert! Your work from a generation ago is being loved again by another. Be blessed, and thank you for your contributions to the diverse pool of newspaper comics! Cheers.

P.S. If any of you are wondering where Buckles is, please read the second sentence spoken by Jill in the third panel. He’s safe and fine. ;-)

Paul, you don’t have a chance…..

Paul when you least expect, expect it!

Speak softly and giggle loudly!

Who ran it out of gas?

Jill, karma is going to come back and bite you for laughing at this sad situation. Everybody makes mistakes, you’re not perfect and you will have a comeuppance for your lack of sympathy.

Yes, OK Jill, nice of you to not telling him “I told you so” or something like that, enjoy his kerfuffle in private!

I heard that.

And next time Paul when the gauge gets to a half tank, fill it up!! I seldom let my needle get below three quarters.

I bet that Jill is thinking “Sucker”.

I always tried to keep the vehicles filled, especially during the winter ……. It would aggravate me so much, to get in a truck and the gauge was on E or close …… considering that all anyone had to do was stop at one of the gas stations and fill up (had accounts at most of them) …… :)
