Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 25, 2009

And he thought they smelled bad on the outside.

I can hardly wait ‘til he gets to (and perhaps ruins) the punchline!

Fantastic art, and actually quite nice to hear an ancient story.

Every time I hear this story or tell it we always comment on how disgusting it must’ve been to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the great fish’s belly. No wonder he prayed like he did.

As for you augh, it’s time to grow up!

I’m waiting for the real pastor to show up and run the phony.

I’ve been thinking that for about a week, marktrail…though I think when he finally does show up, Upton will have had a change of heart about thievery…

NO ! NO! DON”T SAY IT!*

*voice of Mel Blanc (from warner brothers cartoons)

I think Upton will come to the end of his sermon, confess the wrong he has done and ask for prayer, just in time for Pastor Present AND the real Reverend Peacegood to BOTH show up!!

Smite them, HectorPriam!

I think the guy with glasses in the front row is asleep.

..and I thought a 3 hour tour was bad…

@HectorPriam

You sacrificed a bull and burned its carcass in your backyard? Wouldn’t it smell like a barbecue? It creates an odor pleasing to the Lord…How could it smell any different than barbecued beef, or pit roasted beef?

It’s my understanding that whales have very small throats. So it’s good that the dialogue says “a big fish” which could be several species.

Much of what I bar B Q ends up burnt offerings, so it must be very pleasing to the Lord. Those eating it object sometimes. I think we have a reformed thief. Now what will Ramona Lisa do? Married to a man of the cloth when her outfits contain very little cloth might be difficult.

Strange, the last comment failed to save, but there it is.
