   And she’s off and runnnninnnggg !

   Is being a track star in Gertie’s future?

   This isn’t Gertie any more. She’s been transmogrified into a new character. I guess that’s what happens when you get tossed into the crucible of love.

   Anyway, I like this one. She looks like Betty Boop with a few extra pounds. Two thumbs up!

   She does at that.

   More like Fanny Brice, actually. And apparently a more bombastic performer than she was!

   It’s the yard sale for the old stair steper !

   I think Gertie’s weight loss is entirely due to this situation what with all the jitters about seeing Byrd, all the sweating from worry over getting caught, all the running and dancing… bet she’ll crash when the day is over! And be hitting the pain reliever in the morn!

   I love the Cinderella idea some had yesterday!

   Dypak said, …Gertie gets embarressed, think’s she’s in trouble and runs away, leaving a single shoe behind. Then Earl will have to track her down, a la Cinderella.

   OK, but I’ll bet she leaves the wig behind instead of her shoe!

   That’s the best thing about reading comics here, rather than in print. In print I’d end up reading the once I hate.

   I hadn’t thought of that advantage before. In the newspaper, I’d sometimes accidentally read a panel or two of Garfield, then desperately pull away before the punchline!

   I hope Gertie left her glass tap shoe behind..

   I like your idea axe grinder. She loses the wig as she’s trying to escape and Earl has to try to fit the wig to every woman’s head in the kingdom til he finds his Gertie.

    axe-grinder said, about 1 month ago

    Yes, and when she loses the wig she is transformed back to the old Gertie…

    It’s the black dress … it takes pounds off.

    And once again, the drawing is stunning.

    Okay, I was a little confused yesterday…seems like this strip should have run before that one. Still, well-drawn and keepin’ me entertained.

    The only thing that keeps me coming back now is,..not the strip,..but to read the comments. Clearly, this storyline is in the toilet. Move on!,..for heavens sake!

    It’s getting to be like a plot from a 60s Dick Van bleeep movie.

    Crappy nannybot! I meant Julie Andrews’ co-star in “Mary Poppins”

    Gertie had sneaked into the theater to fetch Walt, but now I bet she’ll run out without him!

    Not only do we have an “I Love Lucy” plot, but today’s panel seems to be a storyboard from “Singin’ In The Rain”.

    I so like see GA strip and this story like, evan though in the past, is fun. I wonder if Uncle Walt will see Gertie?

    I still feel sorry for Walt…

    As usual, the artwork is great! But the story has stalled for several days now.

    boldyuma said, about 1 month ago

    I still say Gertie looks like the female impersonator
    “Divine”….Oh…right “Divine” was bald…
    nose is about the same…

    oldbooger said, about 1 month ago

    This has really become a drag. Please can we soon have some closure? Bring the GA characters out of mothballs.

    Nice new avatar, oldbooger!

    the course of true love never did run smooth…

    this a first class story line, everyday something unexpected

    I feel sorry for those who can’t enjoy it!

    “But this ol’ river keeps on rollin’, though,
    No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
    And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
    And watch the river flow.

    Watch the river flow,
    Watchin’ the river flow,
    Watchin’ the river flow,
    But I’ll sit down on this bank of sand
    And watch the river flow.”

    — Bob Dylan

    Go Gertie go! You’re right Axe, the wig is a much better idea.

    Boldyuma, Divine at least would have known what to do on stage. Belt out a few show tunes, camp it up, tell some bad jokes. I think we’re much better off with Gertie.

    Gertie’s face has lost its realistic look.
