Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 07, 2025

Rex Morgan is still running today…

Will we ever see any other comic strip characters of old on this arc??

Wont Jeff be surprised to find out Rex doesn’t actually live there but has prepaid on his room for when he does retire.

Maybe someone there will explain to Mutt why his son Cicero looks exactly like Jeff.

Rex Morgan? As if the pacing wasn’t slow enough already.

Put in Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, and Dr. Howard!

Now Walt is talking with no dentures in his mouth. And Rex Morgan, M.D. is not retired yet.

What’s Rex Morgan doing in the Old Comics Home? His strip is still running.

Rex would immediately decide that Walt needs a prostate exam.

Did any reader notice that Mutt and Jeff are minus one finger on each glove?

Maybe Brenda’s friend with the eye patch has a home remedy for Walt

Have you noticed that NOBODY misses Slim’s mother and the freeloading cousin?

how about the girls from Apartment 3-G?

The “frozen” explanation doesn’t quite cut it. Walt is sounding too much like someone who is suffering a very common serious illness, with this setting serving as a metaphor to facilitate a seemingly nicer way of portraying the inevitable. If ever a bit of artistic license was needed, this is it. Get him back home to Gertie and the Alley ASAP. Otherwise, this is well on its way to becoming a disaster.
