If the big Lug would tell Mayor Melba there is a woman in his house that Wont leave but he wants her to….(because OBVIOUSLY he likes Ms Melba) I bet she would have NO problem running Willow OUT!
I am sure they probably looked up the Oldest Fan they could find, then offered to give her a part in the strip for the celebration. This is NOT Peggy Lee the singer.
I hope not. I just discovered Gasoline Alley. It wasnt in the local newspapers here when I was growing up.
My uncle used to call me Skeezix when I was little after his favorite comic strip growing up. (he would have been about the same age as the strip) I only recently made the connection.
While it is typical for a comic strip to spread an arc out. Joel & Rufus can get kinda tedious.
