Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) | comment |
Gasoline Alley is an American Newspaper Comic strip created by Frank King, currently distributed by Tribune Media Services. Debuting on November 24, 1918 and starting out as a Sunday-only panel before becoming a daily strip in 1919, it's had the second-longest continuous run in American comic strip history (after The Katzenjammer Kids) and has earned numerous critical accolades for its influential innovations. Along with his inventive concepts in color and page layout, King introduced real-time continuity to newspaper comics by showing his characters as they grew to maturity and aged through the generations.The strip originally depicted young, bachelor garage owner Walt Wallet and his friends in automobile-related situations (hence the title), but starting in 1921 it began to chronicle Walt's home life after he discovered an abandoned baby on his doorstep, whom he adopted and named "Skeezix" (common slang of the period for a motherless calf). Five years later, Walt married Phyllis Blossom, with whom he had a son named Corky. The family was completed in 1935 when a baby called Judy was left in Walt's car. All three eventually grew up, got married and had children of their own. In later years, the strip has mostly centered around Skeezix and his wife Nina Clock, as well as their daughter Clovia and her husband Slim Skinner, who now manages the garage. Rustic garbage collectors Joel and Rufus stand out among the non-Wallet characters.King was replaced by Bill Perry in 1951 (Sundays) and Dick Moores in 1959 (dailies) after both had assisted him for years. Moores became the sole artist in 1975. Jim Scancarelli took over following Moores' death in 1986 and has drawn the strip ever since.Not to be confused with the Rod Stewart album/song of the same name. | |

Artifact Title | |
Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The strip began as a part of "The Rectangle", where each of the Chicago Tribune's four staff artists drew a panel. In Frank King's panel, four characters named Walt, Doc, Avery and Bill (the last three being long dead by now) talked about cars, hence the name. It became popular enough to be spun off as a strip in 1919, with more characters who talk about a lot of other things besides cars. Even by the 1950s, MAD was doing parodies noting that the strip seemed to have nothing to do with gasoline. | |

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: An October-November 2015 storyline had Walt visiting an "old comics' home" to attend Jeff's funeral, only to find out that Jeff was actually alive and well (much to the surprise of everyone else). Apart from Mutt and Jeff themselves, many other comics characters appeared in this arc, including "Smokey Stover" and even the "Yellow Kid". They visit it again for the strip's centennial celebration, in an arc running through the latter half of 2018. | |

Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_534793ae | comment |
Methuselah Syndrome: By virtue of being the main character, Walt at 123 would not only be the oldest living person in the world if he were actually alive, but the oldest person to have ever livednote The actual oldest living person is more than six years younger than Walt; moreover, no person has ever been verified as living past 122., and he's likely not going away anytime soon. Canonically, having been a doughboy in WWI, he is usually acknowledged on Memorial Day or Veterans' Day as also being the last surviving Great War vet on Earth. The current writer of the strip has stated that he does have plans for this issue; what plans, however, he isn't saying. | |

Doorstop Baby: That's how Walt found Skeezix in 1921, and Judy in 1935. In 2012, recurring "ne'er-do-well" characters Joel and Rufus were giving away kittens, and one of them was given to Walt, who had deja vu before reminiscing about the time in 1921 when he found Skeezix. | |

Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_5f9fbd83 | comment |
Not Allowed to Grow Up: Averted. Walt is 123 years old (Phyllis was 105 when she passed away in 2004) and Skeezix is now over 100. While some characters have, the most popular and important characters will probably never get around to actually dying, but characters who were young in the Roaring Twenties are ancient now and characters who were introduced as children have families of their own. Played straight with a few characters, specially with Joel and Rufus. Also played straight in general when Dick Moores helmed the strip in the 1970s and '80s. | |

Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: Throughout the 2000s, the strip seems to have deviated more and more from its long-time premise. For three generations, it was a semi-realistic depiction of small-town family life. Lately, it features a lot more slapstick comedy, absurdist humor, a heavier focus on characters outside of the Wallet Family, not to mention talking animals and little green space aliens. | |

Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: Joel, Rufus, and Melba don't seem to age the way everyone else does. Other characters, like Clovia and Slim, seemed to stop aging once they got to be in their 50s. In fact, the main characters' ages are rarely mentioned anymore, as the strip becomes less and less realistic. Boog was born in September 2004 so by the rules of the strip he should be around 18, yet he often looks and acts more like a 6-year-old kid. | |

Gasoline Alley (Comic Strip) / int_9890e176 | comment |
Same Character, But Different: Corky's daughter Eve reappeared in the mid 2000s for the first time since the 1970s. Despite her supposed age being near 40, she was presented as a reckless teenager type who couldn't care less about her aging grandfather. There were absolutely no consequences for her behavior (that we saw, anyway), and she hasn't been back since. Can also apply to Slim's mom, Lil Skinner. Throughout the 1980s, she was a slightly overbearing grandmother who lived across the hall and helped take care of the kids. After a decade-long absence, she returned in 1999 as a shrewish old lady who hated Clovia (the feeling was mutual) and seemed not to care for anyone but herself. | |

Canon Discontinuity: This strip is usually very good about maintaining continuity. However, one story in 1995 features Rover's birth mother telling him the back story about his father, which is completely different from the story that was told when these characters were introduced in 1981. | |

Wring Every Last Drop out of Him: Walt, who in order to keep up with the strip's real-time aging, has hung around to be over 120 years old, and ever more decrepit each year. An occasionally-stated fact is that he's the last surviving World War I vet in America (the real one, Frank Buckles, died in 2011 at 110). | |

Disco Dan: Avery, Walt's original neighbor, was this half a century before disco even took off; his defining trait was that he still used a crank car long after everyone else had moved on to cars with starters. | |
