He’s nervous….probably running from the cops (notice the sweat drops)…and of course the cops will show up at Slim and Clovia’s. Wait for it….this is just about my least favorite story line….sigh….
Throughout its history, Gasoline Alley has always had a bit of a “city slicker/country bumpkin” element to the stories. If you read the old stories, you will find that the Wallet family has encountered many con-men over the years. The over riding theme is that down-home innocence always triumphs over self-serving shysters in the end.
Slim has never been the brightest bulb in the lamp but I doubt that anyone would say that he is not 100% honest despite the actions of his relatives. I find the situation to be humorous.
I’m sorry, using the daily strip for Chubby’s lame humor day after day gets old real fast. With all the wonderful characters in Gasoline Alley, why dwell on Slims larcenous Mom and his dead beat cousin.

I don’t think SUSAN likes Uncle Stubby and Lil. They are pretty slimy characters, but I’ve know some just like them in real life.
