   I was looking for an old strip and stumbled across a story where Gertie was the main character. Here are some comments from the 8/26/09 strip:

   toasterover “: Oh, come on! If I wanted to hear this joke, I’d just have to go shopping with my mother. Can we please move on with the story?”

   jumbobrain: “Seconded! Story! Let’s go!”

   OzzieJohn: “The artwork is good, and I’ve noticed that Jim Scancarelli isn’t scared of drawing hands.”

   oldbooger: “These delays are an insult to longtime GA readers. They serve no useful purpose. I’m outta here!”

   BliztMcD: “Hoo boy. At this rate, Gasoline Alley might surpass Brenda Starr as the strip with the slowest plot development around.”

   coutoftowergrove: “Yikes! This storyline is as slow at Dick Tracy.”

   More than 15 years ago, people were complaining how slow the strip was and comparing it to Tracy and Starr, which is not a good thing. Obviously, neither Scancarelli nor the syndicate listen to what the readers say.

   (The Puzzler will be along shortly to share comments from people complaining that the stories are moving too quickly.)

   Maybe, like me, he has amblyopia.

   It hasn’t moved one bit since March 10. Even more boring than a tree fell down in Walt’s backyard.

   It doesn’t scratch, you can’t dent it, and it is water repellant. I like our oak wood floors but we will be going with LVP when we tear the carpet out of our living room after a recent remodel. The two keys to making sure it last is to buy a quality product and select an installer that knows what they are doing.

   It’s hard to do but Jimbo has finally taken this strip to the point that watching paint dry is more entertaining.

   Okay?

   You mean to slow the story down because it was moving too fast for some of GA’s biggest fans? Probably.

   It’s not like when I was young and when somebody moved away, that was pretty much it. Today with all of the ways there are to keep in touch, not to mention long distance calls not costing anything, it is more difficult to lose complete contact.

   Was “Funky” ever funny?
