Gasoline Alley
Gasoline Alley : Comics SuperHeroes Cartoons:
"Gasoline Alley is a comic strip created by Frank King that was first published on November 24th, 1918.
The Chicago Tribune ran a page on Sundays called The Rectangle. Staff artists would do one-shot panels, or continuing plots or themes. A small, humble corner of The Rectangle was home to Frank King's Gasoline Alley, where weekly Walt, Doc, Avery, and Bill had a conversation on cars. This black-and-white panel of the page slowly gained recognition and either on August 25 of the same year or in January of 1919, the daily Tribune picked up the panel. It became a strip, then the Sunday version moved from The Rectangle to a page of its own, full color. The Sunday pages, particularly of the 30's, had neither traditional gags nor fantastic adventures, but instead presented a gentle view of nature or imaginary daydreaming with expressive art"
