Since 1986, Moores' assistant Jim Scancarelli has been writing and drawing it. The Sunday strip as well came to Moores in 1975. Bill Perry had been doing the Sundays since 1951. In 1959 King's assistant, Dick Moores, took over the daily strip when King retired. Some of the minor characters like the trashmen, Joel and Rufus, are ageless as is the norm in comics. The latest addition to the family of which I am aware is Boog (born in 2004), the grandchild of Clovia, Skeexiz's daughter. Though Gasoline Alley was not teh first strip to do this, it was certainly the most influential. So on Valentine's Day 1921, bachelor Walt Wallet found the baby Skeexiz abandoned on his doorstep.Ī major innovation in Gasoline Alley was that King had his main characters age in real time. After a couple of years, Chicago Tribune editor, Joe Patterson, suggested the strip would have more appeal to women if a baby was added to the cast. Originally the strip featured Walt Wallet and his friends Doc, Avery, and Bill and was centered on their automobiles. A daily panel was added on August 24, 1919. This makes it the second longest running comic strip in the US to 'The Katzemjammer Kids'.

Gasoline Alley was created by Frank King as one of several panels in the full page, black & white comic page 'Rectangles'. The Sunday strip ended in the early 1980s the daily continued until 1988. Mel Graf, Bill Crooks, Jim Lawrence and Mick Casale handled the strip later. During World War II, the strip focused on Captain Easy who in the army, and the daily strip’s name was changed to Captain Easy to match the Sundays. Turner drew the dailies while Walt Scott handled the dailies. In 1943, Crane left the NEA to create Buz Sawyer. This greatly restricted Crane’s artwork and he turned the Sundays over to Turner returning to the dailies. In 1937 the NEA syndicate required all their Sunday strips to be designed to allow the dropping and rearrangement of panels to fit different formats. The early Sundays featured some of Crane’s finest work. Crane turned most of the art on the daily strip over to Leslie Turner to concentrate on the Sundays. In 1933 a Sunday Captain Easy strip was launched. On February 26, 1929, Crane introduced the soldier of fortune Captain Easy. It soon became one of the first adventure strips. Before Buz Sawyer, Roy Crane wrote and drew Wash Tubbs a gag-a-day strip featuring the misadventures of the diminutive Washington Tubbs II beginning in 1924.
