Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 10, 2022

… as many suspected. ✨

Now Polly has to be rescued before she runs out of air!

Do you think maybe this story line is by whoever is going to be replacing Jim? I hope not — worst story ever.

Yep. I called it.

A lot of you called it! Now, how is Polly getting back? Following…!

Musk’s Mars mission will save Polly?!

Oooo, it’s Polly. What a surprise.

would NASA mount a rescue for a parrot? I kind of doubt it.And our current tech cant get a ship there for around 9 months to a year.unless they use the special jalapeno candy moonshine fuel, I agree this story line is kind of nuts LOL

What a surprise :P

Think that this dream sequence will end soon

broke all laws of science so far let’s see how Polly gets back…best character in this storyline

SURPRISE!!!!

Okay,this is now officially a dream sequence.

WE’VE JUST LOST A BIG MOUTH BIRD

THAT’S ONLY GOOD FOR CARVING

there ain’t no crackers on the moon

SO POLLY WILL END UP STARVING

Ok! OK!! … We all knew it was Polly the Parrot in the rocket. It was all too clear and expected …

Still, it reminds me (especially the last panel) of Haredevil Hare from 1948. As was said near the end of the cartoon:

“Have you prepared a statement for the press?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact I have prepared a statement. … GET ME OUTTA HERE !!!” … :)

It’s taken longer for that bird to get revealed after landing on Mars than it did for the rocket to travel the hundred million miles between here and there. Jim Scancarelli has some really weird ideas about pacing.

Forgot about the bird…

I’m trying to think of any way out of it. Like the rocket hardly went anywhere and the video is fake but that doesn’t work either.

Never liked that bird. So if he is now residing on Mars instead, then this is a good plot line!

“ZOMBIE BIRD LANDS ON MARS”

Good riddance!!

Looks like Polly has wrung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.
