Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 06, 2021

Now Boog’s like 7 years old. He’s skipping through time.

Is that a Edvard Munch tree I see in panel 3?

Why that little impertinent so and so. Wherez a hick’ry switch when ya need wun ?

That’s quite a growed up mouth that kid’s got on her.

Still kicking; just not firing on all cylinders.

By the time Mucous and Well I’ll Be get to 40, they will have had their own share of challenges getting through life with names like those……

Drawing attention to the fact that Rufus and Joel don’t age.

ok is Boog just stupid or has he stopped aging? He should be 17 now he would have a better concept of age. Scan is getting worse at writing. Since Rufus and Joel left are we going to follow the village Idiots or stay with Boog and Aubee? I hope we stay and let those two go pound sand…

Boog looked junior-high age at the start of last year’s “prison break” story.

But the mule and Rufus’ cats haven’t aged a day.It’s in their contracts.

When was the first appearance of Rufus and Joel?

I wonder if anyone can help me here on a Rover Hunt. I just got into Gasoline Alley a few years back with the various anthologies all of which I have read. So I am real familiar with the older characters from King through Moores but less so with today’s. I really fell in love with the story of Rover back when Slim and Clovia took him in. But I cannot find anything in the archives here as to a grown-up Rover. On a different Forum I was told he was last featured in a Thanksgiving story. Unable to find that one! Can anyone please direct me to a story or appearence by a grown-up Rover? Thanks!

Joel is older than Walt, though you wouldnt think so looking at him. He was shown in the 1960s to be a Spanish-American War veteran!

Is Rover Boog’s father? Wasn’t Rover sort of an orphan and expert lock picker?

40 years old. I wish I could say that.
