Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for June 15, 2011

Boog is trying out for the Darwin award.

Bim Bam Boogy boycoming up soon, or down.

This scenario was so predictable. Need a plot twist here.

Who is running the Claw?

I hope Jim will fast forward to Pastor Present’s eulogy rather than playing this out on-panel. I will miss Boog.

Oh no, No no no.

Longtime fans: have characters met their end in the past, then? They don’t die (Walt) but they can be killed?

Bye, Boog. Nice knowing you.

When people were surrounded by wolves and cliffs and rapids they taught their kids to obey. Now things are so safe you can just let them grow up wild. Mostly.

Nobody worry! Rufus and Joel will save him.

Are you sure this cartoon isn’t a re-run. I think I’ve seen this years ago.

Random thoughts: * Walt’s buddies — Avery, Doc, and Bill — died off-camera. So did Wilmer Bobble’s skinflint Uncle Pert. * Well, if Boog goes, it’s time for Hoogy and Rover to have another kid anyway. * Maybe Boog will be saved by (a) his long-lost Aunt Gretchen; (b) the bear; or © Nubbin.

I’ll be quite surprised if he actually gets killed. Somehow, it’s not going to happen. The only question is how.

Fangirl, yes, but only of very old age. Walt is the only one from this strip I can think of who has been sent to the Home, though.

So is Rover going to be met by Phyllis, or the “Tuxedo Man” from Funky Winkerbean?(I could also live with a guest appearance by George from ‘Dead Like Me’.)

that brat deserves what’s coming to him

Wow, if Boog gets killed in this grotesque way, it’ll really rock my GA worldview.Deus ex machina!

That was ‘rock’ as in ‘surprise and change’, by the way, not ‘please immensely’ as the whippersnappers would have it…
