Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for June 30, 2011

CHILD SITTIN’, huh?

I thought yesterday that Boog was either a ghost or some sort of shared aleutian. I may have been wrong.

Joel changed the sign in the middle frame.

On June 20th Boog’s pants were brown, now they are blue.

This is why daily strips should be left in black and white, as drawn by the creators. Leave color for Sundays. Outsourced colorization is rarely a good thing.

Boog doesn’t look any the worse for wear.

@ axe-grinderNo, I think Boog was born and raised right there : )

Boog’s pants started blue, and changed to brown, back to blue, several times over the past month. I suspect the colorist does too many strips to maintain continuity. His shirt trim started brown, and changed to red in stages.

The sign changed way back on June second, ladyfinger. (and yes, it did change itself!)

I just read up on Jim at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Scancarelli

There was a lil bird in the car June 20th

Sadly, the colorist today did not color in Joel’s pipe. A few people have commented on the changing sign on Joel and Rufus’ wagon…. I think it is a continually changing sign that Mr. Scancarelli uses “poetic lisence” with to add additional humor to the comic. Other comic writers also do this…. think of the changing faces often seen on the shirts of characters in “Luann” for instance as well as a few others.

Earl Bird?
