All of you that think the strip “was intended to be a story about the extended Wallet family” have willingly forgotten the origins of GA (before my time, but I have read about the history of the strip) as a bunch of people sitting around talking about cars. At least we don’t have to put up with that. As far as I am concerned, the strip has always been about a slice of American life with all its occasional quirkiness. If it is specifically about the Wallet family, then fine. If it is about their friends and other people in their circle, then that is fine too, IMO. Not all the stories are going to be of equal interest to everyone all the time, and that is also a reflection of life.
