Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for April 13, 2022

Maybe this strip not the best place to accomplish that particular goal. ✨

Mz Melba looks a little like a Wallet; perhaps Clovia’s adopted out at birth sister ?

He doesn’t remove his hat in the presence of a lady??

“Can you figure out who stole my Minnie Purl hat?”

“I’ve tracked down Pruneface to this area!”

“Don’t call him that—-His name is Walt Wallet!”

Someday Mayor Melba may meet Brenda Starr, Friday Foster, Winnie Winkle, Moon Mullins, Terry, and/or Pat Ryan. (All are past characters from the Tribune Content comic strip universe).

Here’s Dick Tracy (and Chester Gould) trying to appeal for all of America to come to its senses, and stop making it hard on the police with all this namby-pamby civil liberties crap – 51 years ago this week:

When Dick hears the Molehill Mountaineers play,he’ll wish he had Tonsils back.

Like quit defunding the police.

“Plus, I’m trying to get away from that tic I’ve developed with the appearance of a new Tonsils…”

Does Jim Scancarelli let Mike Curtis (Writer of Dick Tracy) know when he’s going to use Dick Tracy, at least as a curtesy. They’ve never actually done anything where there’s direct storyline cross-overs.
