    If Walt ever decides to cancel his rural association ’lecktricity it looks like that thing could keep his house powered up real good.

    What we in the business call “percussive maintenance“.

    Walt’s head is too big for his body in panel 2. BTW, didn’t the linesmen turn on the lights when they reconnected the cables??

    Maybe the lights came on because power was restored, and Walt’s kicking was a coincidence?

    At least Walt didn’t get shocked – at least for now.

    I saw something like that on the movie The Longest Day.

    Must have broken loose a blockage in the fuel line.

    Walt’s from not just Old School, but Oldest School of Mechanics. He should have known that.

    I stumbled upon a website, , where a guy named Tom Sharp shared poems he has written about may classic comic strips from “Alley Oop” to “Zippy the Pinhead” and a whole bunch in between. Of course, he wrote a few (four) about Gasoline Alley, such as this (“Comic Strip History”:

    “When Frank King started Gasoline Alley,

    Walt Wallet was twenty nine

    and Henry Ford wouldn’t retire

    the Model T for nine more years.

    Every Sunday Walt, Doc, Avery, and Bill

    talked about taking care of cars."

    I once repaired generators. A customer had one that sat on the jobsite running all day, worked fine for weeks, then it failed. He brought it in to the shop, it worked perfectly. We couldn’t make it fail. So again it ran for weeks until it failed. This went on for two years, it turned out the brushes were wearing oddly, and jostling the unit throwing it in his truck and bringing it to us knocked them back into place.

    That only works with TV sets. I’ll get the plaster cast for the foot
