Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 14, 2024

I have done that, don’t feel bad!

Did Aubee start sobbing in P. 4 ?

Is this the end of the arc? I’d be glad, except that I fear the next one may focus on the two dumb rubes. Y’know, we haven’t seen Slim’s mother and “cousin” in a very long time. Suppose they show up to make everyone’s holiday miserable? Or that pack of lazy bums, the Pyes?

Pictures delited?

That happened in a lot of old Hanna Barbara cartoons.

That’s enough of these idiots!

This “gag” has been done dozens of times back in the day when it would be either the lens cover was left on or there was no film in the camera (think of Goofy back in the 30s with the giant ants saga). Could somebody do what Aubee did in today’s world? Not bloody likely. The lens in her phone, like on most people’s phones, is in the upper left corner, a place where it would be an unnatural one to place your hand. Plus when taking a picture, a person looks to see what the picture looks like before snapping it. She would see her fingers and just not take the picture. Jimbo probably has never used a cellphone to take picture with.

Cue sad trombone.

these kids look like they’re 60 or 80 years old
