Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 25, 2024

Merry Christmas. And Hannukah starts at sundown tonight.

Two jolly old elves!

Merry Christmas, Alley Cats.

Milton Caniff expresses a reason for the season, for those far away from home on the holidays.

Phyllis edges closer to her dream second honeymoon, but it’s still going to be up to Mr. Wicker to see if Walt can get some extended time off to take the trip.

Hipshot is in town to do a job, and I guess Hays City, Kansas is somewhere between Will Powers’ ranch in Texas, and Hipshot’s home base in Montana? In any case, Hip is delighted to see Paris again.

After all that, Lazy cheaps out and doesn’t buy the news clipping? She must be burning through that trust fund money at a dizzying pace. But our Starr is not deterred… and then George shows up to throw up another roadblock toward the altar. And if that doesn’t work, I think Gracie is ready to shoot her before she gets to the elevator. Merry Christmas, Brenda.

So after a night of the Wallet family having a lovely Christmas eve… the Three Wise Guys – Sarge, Hack and Slim – show up after midnight so the cast is all together for the end of the world. “I Got You Babe” came out eight years ago, so a “Groundhog Day” scenario is still in play here.

You eat well as one (two) of Santa’s elves.

Merry Christmas, Gasoline Alley Cats !

Merry Christmas one and all, on the track, or in the pits!

Merry Christmas Jim! And Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all my friends here in Gasoline Alley!

Noel, noel, noel, noel…

Merry Christmas, Alley Cats!

Reminds me of the “Animaniacs” song: “No L”

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For once, it’s not a repro of Sunday’s strip.

Nice to see Walt and Skeezix.

Well done, Jim!

Merry Christmas Skeezix & Walt….!!!
