Adam and his twin sister Eve were born in the strip in 1960. I read once that Perry, then scripting and drawing the Sunday section Gasoline Alley, suggested they be added to the already large cast so the strip would have Wallet kids in it throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s. After Adam as an adult came back from serving in the Peace Corps with his Pacific Islander wife, a memorable story arc saw Nina and Skeezix work out an agreement with Adam for Adam and his wife to revive the Clock farm Nina had inherited after her parents’ deaths.

Adam needs to cultivate some better material.

A surplus of punch lines! Perfect!

It’s nice to see that someone still reads Bob Orben’s joke books.

That’s a nice diversion from the Monday thru Saturday proceedings.

IIRC, Nina Clock is the daughter of Ada Clock. And Teeka’s family name is Tok.

Skeezix is 99 years old and still driving. Al Jaffee of Mad Magazine is also 99 years old and still drawing.
