Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 18, 2025

Might be a stick of dynamite—and then this entire strip can go KERBOOM!!

Maybe Mutt and Jeff would see better if they could get their eyes moved up above their noses. That can’t be good for peripheral vision…

Good to see the site back up to snuff, and the classic comics train is on schedule again tonight/this morning, here’s the update for the 18th:

Skeezix gets hauled back into the police station, but the ‘ace’ detective didn’t actually see who set the fire. It’s a lot of circumstantial evidence, but Skeezix is adamant that he’s not the guy.

RIck sends Quyat away while he remains to come to some understanding with the bear. The Marshal’s not exactly a ‘crack shot’, but a black bear is an awful big target.

Now “Brenda” (Kolina) also has (real) Brenda’s car, purse, keys, etc etc to pull off her deception on everyone from The Flash and Queen Vallorie. But there’s something out there giving them pause. Could it be the Mystery Man returned to save the day??

Rufus, get down from there – Joel is thirsty and now he has to put Zeb’s still.

Oh, my kingdom for a torch. Did Walt go back to sleep ?

“A candle in the wind”

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness, I’ve been told.

I hope after the candle is lit, the candle doesn’t slip out of Jeff’s hand and causes a fire at the Old Folks Home.

Scancarelli must have gotten a special deal on black ink.

What,no backup generator?

Besides,you can’t trust The Dragon Lady if she thinks nobody is watching her

It’s hard to do but Jimbo has finally taken this strip to the point that watching paint dry is more entertaining.
