Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for February 15, 2012

Is that the warden?

I doubt Scancarelli is involved in coloring the dailies, which are drawn for b&w printing. Traditionally, the cartoonist will oversee the coloring of the Sundays, however, by submitting a hand-colored photocopy. In fact, while I have seen Scancarelli Sunday originals accompanied by such a guide, I’ve never seen one with a daily strip. As far as I know, Jim still does the strip the old-fashioned way, pen, brush and india ink on bristol board. Other artists have taken to using computers in the process.

I still miss the comic strip Gasoline Alley.

Is the organist blind? He doesn’t even seem to be aware that money is floating around him.

So this multi story organ was in their house, huh?

I guess I just accept it as a great comic strip. I usually don’t notice the inconsistancies (or however you spell it). I would like to thank the complainers for pointing out how dumb I am.

My theory is that the first organist tagged off with another one who could be counted on to ignore floating currency and keep playing. (And yeah, nice call-out to the Kingfish. I’m hoping he means the TV version, which was more of a straight sitcom and not a parade of embarrassing caricatures like the radio show.)

The air/wind doesn’t blow where the bills are emanating from

The pipes and other “workings” of the organ might go up 3 stories “organ loft”, but there wouldn’t be another keyboard and another organist when they got there. I don’t know if you could take the type of organ you might have in a home and hook it up to pipes. Seems improbably.

Looking back, the organ itself does appear to be in a balcony area. The organist’s jacket is the same but I agree with earlier comments about facial appearance.

Scancarelli’S story lines and continuity suck big time.

Those who can, create. Those who can’t, whine and moan about those who can.

On Feb 10 the organist was clearly shown and not in silhouette. He has on the same jacket, but his skin is brown.
