Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for February 25, 2024

Ah, for the days where my morning snap crackle pop came from my cereal, and not my knees….

That looks like Peter Pain. I haven’t thought about him in decades.

You’re forgetting (T)im Potence!!

Well it’s nice to see Walt and Skeezix in the storyline again.

As for the classics update for the 25th, we have a three-parter teed up:

Sudden DeMise shows up at Wolf Hyde’s ranch to let him know that he’s won the range war, and to collect the second half of the agreed-to fee. Mr. Hyde suddenly has a visit from D. Mentia. The assassin shows some of his skills to try and collect, and I wouldn’t hold out a second longer.

ARRRGHH!! No No No! Brenda, you take the assignment, do a bang-up job even if you freeze your… sweet trousseau off and show the chauvinists that a woman can do anything a man can. Don’t set your sisters back 20 years by pulling the “Oh my, I couldn’t…” act!

“Evil” Eve Wallet is back, and she’s not happy that some girl is using her brother… when she wants to use him to go have some fun at the skating pond. Hugo goes fishing, back in the days when the US midwest had actual winters with snow, and ice.

Walt and Skeezix’s demons exercise them.

Oh dear look at all those little males on them.

I’ve had to deal with Osteo Arthur Itis myself.

And their pet, Cat-a-racts!

I thought these were MY friends!

In 1979, there was a Tic Tac Dough contestant during an OVER 80 SENIOR TOURNAMENT who mentioned about Arthur Itis and Ben Gay as her friends.

M. T. Wallet, a close relative that he wishes was distant, is visiting so much that it feels like he lives there.

Hard of hearing, hard of seeing, and then hard of thinking.

My grama used to tell those old jokes.

Is this Saint Patrick’s day? What’s with the green tint?
