Críticas:
Gasoline Alley creator King had been writing and drawing the popular newspaper strip for nearly 50 years by 1964, when he turned over the reins to Disney-comics veteran Moores. Moores retained the gentle humor, small-town warmth, and tradition of having the characters age in more-or-less real time, but he also brought a cleaner, adroitly designed visual approach that warded off obsolescence as the original cast members reached their senior years. By this point, the focus has largely shifted from Walt Wallet, who found baby Skeezix on his doorstep in 1921, to the second generation: primarily Skeezix and his wife and teenage children, but also Walt’s other kids and their families. The story lines continue to deal with such quotidian matters as Skeezix’s daughter Clovia going on her first date, or Corky and Hope’s decision to tear down their diner and build a new, modern restaurant. Moores’ tenure on Gasoline Alley is the rare instance where the successor on a vintage comic strip managed to maintain the artistic heights set by its originator.― Gordon Flagg, Booklist

Reseña del editor:
- The year 1964 was a momentous one in the history of Gasoline Alley ― it's when Frank King officially handed the baton to Dick Moores. King continued to help plot the strip but it's Dick Moores who takes center stage. More so than any other newspaper strip, Gasoline Alley is renowned for its strict continuity and this is our chance to see Moores ― who continued writing and drawing the strip until 1986 ― make it his own. Forty-plus years earlier, Walt Wallet found baby Skeezix in a basket on his doorstep and in the 1964-1966 strips reproduced in this volume. Skeezix is now middle-aged and has a family of his own. For the first time since they appeared in newspapers fifty years ago, readers can enjoy these classic strips featuring Walt and his wife Phyllis, Skeezix and his wife Nina, Corky, Clovia, Slim, Avery, Mr. Pert, Joel, Rufus, and a whole cast of familiar characters.
