Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for February 21, 2025

In the annals of “Walt’s dead” teasers, does the appearance of characters from the Comics Retirement Home heighten the drama, or make people look for the next banana peel?

- – - – -

Here’s the classic comics update for the 21st:

If Lora keeps this up, Skeezix may have to plan an escape to get away for this chore-assigning machine. It’s supposed to be summer vacation after all.

The messenger bringing out the call for Doc to come out to the ranch has a fearsome story to tell the sawbones what to expect once he gets out there. Can he pull the victims through this?

If Brenda has to go away on assignment, Vallorie would rather come along on the trip, versus having to play society pawn for the Livwrights… can anyone even tell a Queen when to go to bed, much less where to live, and sleep?

You don’t get to Joel’s age without learning some tricks on how to live to his age. Even if his secret is mostly about being a “timeless” character. Will Walt be taking notes??

See, Gweedo—I was right yesterday! ;-)

I see a snowbound tow job coming for these boys.

“Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue—It’s fun!”

They will probably get stuck if you get my drift!

Could they be stranded in the snow and cause Walt Wallet to suffer frostbite? Stay tuned…

Smokey Stover will probably arrive in his “weird vehicle”—even money if this will actually help

the plot thickens

Mutt has four fingers and a thumb today…

How is it that Mutt is driving a car with a top?
