Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 09, 2019

This reminds me of how, on “The Edge of Night,” something would happen on Monday, then everyone would talk about it till Friday. ✨

THAT’S Chipper? I would have never recognized him.

What would Chipper’s wife, Amy, say about him hugging his receptionist?

Since Joel and Rufus don’t really age at all it appears Chipper and Joel have caught up together in their early 70’s.

So Chipper didn’t know there would be somebody covering for him while he was away???

I knew the Joel and Rufus storylines had gone on for a while, but not THIS long!

great to see chipper again though now they seem to have given him grey hair but he is in his upper 60s so yeah fits

He complained about being called old (and maybe Santa) in earlier strips … Perhaps he’s come to terms with it. He looks good!

Glabella. Is that a body part? Can you develop glabellitis?

So… Chipper did not know he had a stand-in while he was gone? Is Peter Glabella a real P.A. or an imposter? That would explain his zany comments to patients.

UUMMMmmm… Howizit that Chipper didn’t know the clinic was hiring a PA with a nervous condition?? HHMMmmm?

Hmm. This is confusing…. I had presumed Chipper had hired him to “sub” for him while Chipper was on vacation?

Regardless….. I am glad Chipper is back…. and his having grey hair, beard, and mustache…. while seemingly shocking to some folks here….. looks good and is appropriate for his age group.

The name of the PA (Glabella) seemed a bit too suspicious…. so maybe he is a crook or a con-man?

What Doctor does Chipper work under? Or has that ever been mentioned?
