Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 22, 2009

He’s all heart.

Up till now, Byrd, you wre smooth…that is up TILL now.

Walllllttt … oh, Walt …

Maybe the strip should go back and find out what Slim is doing. No doubt it’s something crazy

What a great song! I hope he won’t be a one-hit wonder…

Lovely music notes in panel one. Just beautiful work all the way through. Love the overlapping of arm and cello… even the clapping in the speech bubble. Feeling rebellious today, so I’m speaking in phrases only. lol

Can there be anything but a bittersweet ending to this storyline? If Byrd still wants to marry Gertie, she’ll leave Walt. If Byrd has moved on, Gertie wil be devastated.

I guess she could marry Byrd, but stay on with Walt as Byrd tours, but GA seems too traditional for a long-distance marriage.

Well now the concert must be nearly over. I hope Byrd is planning to take Gertie out for an after concert date.

I think the “stain my suit” comment means that he is going to be holding her closely.

Hey, you’re right! He *is* being romantic there.

By the way, is imrobert for “I’m Robert” or “Instant Message Robert”?

A Walt story next would be sweet, but there are so many other Wallets to choose from–

Walt Wallet (“Pater Familias”) Skeezix Wallet (Walt’s son) Nina Wallet (Skeezix’s wife) Chipper Wallet (Skeezix’s son) Amy Wallet (Chipper’s wife) Gus ‘Li’l Skeezix’ Wallet (Chipper’s son) Kathleen Wallet (Chipper’s daughter) Clovia Skinner (Skeezix’s daughter) Slim Skinner (Clovia’s husband) Gretchen Skinner (Clovia’s daughter) Rover Skinner (Clovia’s son) Hoogy Skinner (Rover’s wife) Boog Skinner (Rover’s son) Corky Wallet (Walt’ son) Hope Wallet (Corky’s wife) Nubbin Wallet (Corky’s son) Eve Wallet (Corky’s daughter) Adam Wallet (Corky’s son) Teeka Wallet (Adam’s wife) Ada Wallet (Adam’s daughter) Amanda Lynn Wallet (Adam’s daughter) Judy Grubb (Walt’s daughter) Gideon Grubb (Judy’s husband) Gabriel Grubb (Judy’s son)

I’m sure the next story is already at the syndicate, but I would like to see what Chipper is up to… he was in the medical field, but even he is nearing retirement age!

I guess this story line’s ulterior motive is that we’ll eventually forget that Gertie has neglected Walt, thus Walt slides out of GA unheralded at the age of 120.

The new kitten or little kitty ?
