Clovia was born on Sunday, 05/15/1949, in the back of a cab. Skeezix and Nina were headed to the maternity ward, but there was a traffic jam, and a policeman handled the delivery.
Slim and Clovia are both 60 and still have some time before they decide to retire at 65 but look at Uncle Corky he is still going strong at the diner at 81 yet. Corky’s son Adam has a farm. Eve, well she probably gets welfare living as a biker chick and we haven’t heard anything about Nubbin in over 30 years. Rover we know is a forest ranger but just what Gretchen is up to Lord knows! Jim doesn’t keep us abreast very well on extended family as Moores , Bill Perry and Frank King did.
This strip looks VERY close to a similar situation years ago when Skeezix was giving another speech, right down to the gang at the garage “becoming” busy when he arrived!

Maybe because you’re boring.

Offer him a free dinner Skeezix and he’ll listen to anything you have to say.

Suds is a veteran, isn’t he?

So it sounds as though his speech has the effects of inducing sleep AND heightening task focus in normal, healthy adults.
I’d like to hear that speech during times when I’m drowning in complicated and stressful projects at the office!

Shouldn’t the ‘children’ be about 60 years old themselves, and looking to retire in a few years?

Early 60’s, Luggage, but who can afford to retire these days?

Not unless you are a banker or politician.

TipsyTopsy said, It would be nice to have an occasional update as to what all the various members of the Wallet clan are doing.
There are so many of them! I would especially like to see the Sundays feature one-shots of some of the “lost Wallets”… a little update, a little gag.

They are starting to look alike, aren’t they axe.

The Wallets WERE the heart and soul of GA, but we have devolved down to Slim, Gertie and Rifus & Joel being the bulk of the story line.

“Mr. Wallet?” thirty-five years as a son-in-law, and Skeezix is still Mr. Wallet?

I still find it awkward after many years.

I would hate to call my mother in law by what children call me. We both have the same last name and it would just same strange to me.
