Gasoline Alley

Well, I can't help it. I am really enjoying the most recent collection of "Gasoline Alley," titled "Walt and Skeezix" for copyright issues. 'Most Recent' is a pretty subjective term, since the strips contained within were first printed in 1925. The storyline revolves around Walt's impending marriage to Ms. Blossom, and the cold-hearted Mme. Octave's never-ending attempts to snatch Skeezix away for good.
These are some slow paced strips. I mean really, really slow paced. One strip was just a close-up of Skeezix's head repeated (more or less) over the four panels. It was like some Warhol painting, but it had some kind of narration going across the top of it. I don't remember exactly what it said, but I seem to believe it was a third-person voiceover that was commenting on something Skeezix may have been thinking, though we'll never know.
Other strips basically revolve around that fat fucking manchild, Walt, walking down the road, or pretty much just lousing about and talking to himself. Though this might sound derogatory, I really do enjoy this strip, and the pacing is actually it's main appeal. Although not much happens, these characters' entire lives continue to march on. Skeezix (who was found on Walt's doorstep as an infant) continues to grow day by day. When a year passes, he is a year older. It's interesting to read nowadays, but I'm sure the effect was much different if it was seen to unfold day by day, rather than digesting two years' worth over a few weeks.
