Remember, this strip was drawn 30-35 years ago. Dolly was not sold in stores back then. Perhaps rented for special occasion such as this at home improvement stores or moving companies. They should have rented one AND asked Annie and Steve – they were the younger couple and more capable of pushing a fridge up the steps than mid-aged Greg and Connie. Being a hoarder, Steve even might have a dolly – left behind by somebody in the alley.
