Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 13, 2024

Now that’s the kind of mayor we need.

When the Mayor is away, Imeswine does play!

Ah—a composite of Bumstead and Dithers from the “Blondie” strip!

That’s Rufus, Mr. Iamaswine.

Less “Albert I’mswine”, and more “Rube I’mswine”. Does this fatcat look like the kind of guy who would come up with the idea to rename a town “Electric Acres”?

To look at him, I’d guess that if anything he’d want to go back to the town’s original name – the one it was known as before it was changed to “Gasoline Alley” in 1915 – “Horse(Manure) Valley”.

There’s a three-part classics update posted at 6:30 am local, after more of a sleep than a nap (and even a system update when I wasn’t looking!).. DeMise breaks the bad news to the governor, Brenda tries to explain what it is with her and Basil, and Skeezix makes an executive decision.

I’m still going to get some time in a bed tonight, heh.

Is it just me or does Deputy Mayor Imeswine bear a vague resemblance to Quincy McGoo?

The button that pops off the shirt over a fat belly – is that from “Smokey Stover”? I forget just what strip used it constantly.

“Um, let’s see. 1, 2, many, lots!”

Look at the first panel. FAT STUFF from “Smilin’ Jack” is alive and well.

Rufus just won the intelligence contest.Believe it or NOT!!

Imeswine is the one who’s protruding.

well Goofus is a good name for him

this would have gone better if it was Frank Nelson again

The picture above Rufus nose in Panel 2…is that Mr. Whoopee?

Mister “swine” should count himself lucky that Ruufy didn’t bring a camera.
