Few cartoon strips have had the kind of longevity and consistency as 'Gasoline Alley', which started in 1919 as a mild satire on the post World War II craze for cars. In this volume, an old flame comes to visit Walt, with a eye towards marriage. Meanwhile, Walt pines for Mrs Blossom, the neighbourhood widow.
FRANK KING was born in Wisconsin and died in 1969. He was recently featured in the critically acclaimed exhibit Masters of American Comic

Frank King was featured in the critically acclaimed exhibit Masters of American Comics."Frank King's Gasoline Alley may be the best syndicated comic strip ever. Walt and Skeezix lovingly collects two years' worth of the strip." (Playboy)"There is a lovely, often wrenching gravity to the strip. King knows how humans as well as cars work, especially toddlers. His unsentimental understanding of their moods and games, matched by Walt's sudden and unquestioned devotion to his adopted son, make this about as affecting a portrait of fatherhood as I've seen." (New York Times Book Review)
