Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for January 30, 2022

Good morning, mixed up communicators.

Good job putting the Scottish accent in print.

I have a sudden urge to hear Lord Rockingham XI’s biggest hit single…..

Does he also own a Scottie??

Wonderful to see Walt again!

A little charming—how good—

I guess Walt lives out in the country these days. Does anyone remember when he moved from the home he had with Phyllis for many years in the alley? I cannot remember the move away from his friends.

No true Scotsman …….

St. Patrick’s Day is a month and a half away anyway…wait, he’s Scottish, not Irish!

“But, does your dog bite……”

Inspector Clouseau

Wonder if that’s Oor Wullie? Walt seems to attract old comics characters, and, well, . . .

That bunny rabbit he dinna belong to you.

Jim’s like, “You know, it’s been awhile since I drew a Scotsman.”

Any Hamish McBeth fans out there?

Walt’s still alive. Methuselah is being replaced.

Some years ago I worked for a businessman who had European partners. Most from Scotland, some from Ireland. I picked them up at the airport and drove them to their hotels. The Irishman and I had a lovely conversation about Hibernia. Later a Scot asked me if I understood the Irishman, as they can be hard to understand clearly. I replied that I could understand him perfectly. In my thoughts I said, it’s you that I can no understand, lassie.

Boy,is HE lost!!
