Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for January 13, 2022

I’ve been reading Gasoline Alley since the ’60’s I can’t remember him ever shaving.

HERESY!!!!

You shave and I’ll put yore cuttin’s on my face. They’ll never recognisize us.

Oh, boy, THIS oughta’ be good!

not sure if i would want to see that

When will the truth come out: that they want to cast those rubes in a movie?

It would be funnier to see them louse up take after take while filming.

Shave? Hmm. Let me see. Never?

Same ears, same nose . . .

They will disguise as each other and fool nobody.

The two who are headed for the hoosegow are now going on the lam. Throw the book at ’em!

51 Years Ago – It occurred to me recently that Mr. Pert gives off a vibe like Mr. Potter from “It’s a Wonderful LIfe.” This is not an original thought. I see from Google searches that it has been suggested before by a number of people. But is it plausible? The first reference I can find to Mr. Pert is 1946 in Jim Scancarelli’s timeline. That is the year that the film came out. Can you more knowledgeable alleycats provide any insight on this?
