It’s nice that a 129-year old man can still live upstairs in his own home, and navigate the grand staircase to go answer the door to every lowlife hick looking to put a scam over on the Alley’s most famous supercentenarian.
(Around 1 in 1,000 people who live to be 100, go on to live to be 110. Can we get Carl Reiner to come back from the “Old Comedian’s Home” to conduct one more interview?)
- – - – -
Overcoming TWO… count ’em two naps this evening, the conductor still found a way to produce a three-part update for the 3rd:
Sudden DeMise may not think too much of Abilene and Slink, the two gang members he picked up along the trail while collecting from Wolf Hyde… but he’s pretty sure they’ll do as they’re told when the time comes to implement the plan.
The little bird with the mustache and glasses flies down from the rafters of the studio to pay Maryjane Jones $100… the secret word is something you might find around our Starr’s house. Yes, the Black Orchid is back, baby – buckle up!
Gasoline Alley’s favorite scammers are back, taking Slim for a piddling payday of a small con. For the stakes these seniors play for, they must have millions in investments, caches of gold, annuity income… and they just pull these stunts for the fun of taking the rubes in town.
Is this a hint about a possible revamping of Gasoline Alley with this new future generation Wallet guy that could keep the strip going even if Jim S. decides to retire and hand the pen and ink over to a new artist?

Walt looked pretty cogent when quizzing that kid and knew to reject the b.s.

If any young people read this strip, they would find the portrayal of their generation to be very triggering. If.

There used to be a band in Texas called Volunteer Fire Ants. I always thought the name was hilarious.
