Walt & Skeezix: Volume 7 (1931 & 1932)
by Frank O. King
Volume 7? Oh, yeah, after they published volume 5 (1929-1930), Drawn & Quarterly published Walt Before Skeezix (1918-1920) which would bump the rest of the series up a number. Anyway, this Gasoline Alley collection has a lot of strips dedicated to Skeezix and his gang, the Alley Rangers from their fad of collecting postmarks through encounters with a couple of neighborhood bullies to a member of the unemployed taking up residence in their clubhouse. There's also a couple of road trips in 1932, the second weaved together with a biography of George Washington. In the background, cousin Lora is courted by a couple of gentlemen, much to the concern of Walt.
Check it out.
