To all of you who expect bad things and feel sorry for Gertie:
Scancarelli isn’t into unhappy endings. That’s one of the reasons I love this gentle and beautifully drawn strip.

If Byrd is otherwise attached, it will be a sad ending for Gertie.
If Gertie runs off with Byrd, it’ll be a sad ending for Walt, unless Gertie keeps living in the Wallet home, caring for Walt while Byrd is on indefinite tour.
It’s kind of a shame that since GA is older than almost all of its readers, and very little of it has ever been reprinted, there’s no way to appreciate the backstories. I mean, it’s not like Scancarelli said “hey, I think I’ll make comic strip about a 100-year old guy and his 80 year old adopted son.” Their story unfolded over decades.

She’s going to find him with another woman and she’ll run out of the theater leaving Walt by himself.

Ronshua is right, that guy is no match for Gertie on a mission!

I knew she’d be held up by security. Let’s see what happens now, on Monday since Sunday will be a different storyline.

Methinks there are more than two “Angel Eyes” in Byrd’s cage…

Oh Oh…..I have a bad feeling the ending of this arc is not going to turn out so good. Poor Gertie.

I hope she doesn’t catch him in the middle of a lap dance.

Skeezix is too busy tooling around the country on vacations with Nina.

I agree with ORteka…I have a bad feeling about this…

Heck, Skeezix is nearly 90 himself; he’s too old to be anyone’s full-time caregiver.
