Services, Inc. Camera-ready two-panel strip for Gasoline Alley for
Tuesday, May 7. Frank King created the comic strip Gasoline Alley in
1918, a unique story comic in which the characters aged naturally. (Walt Wallet,
an original Gasoline Alley character, is over 100 years old as of this
biography and probably isn't long for this world) In the late 1950s, King turned
the strip over to Dick Moores, who hired Scancarelli, born in New York
City in 1941, as his assistant in 1979. Since 1986, Scancarelli has been its
sole author and artist. Scancarelli's strip won the National Cartoonist
Society Story Comic Strip Award in 1988 and celebrated its 90th birthday
on November 24, 2008. Scancarelli is also a skilled fiddler and founding
member of the bluegrass band Kilocycle Kowboys. Lightly toned, soiled, creased
and bowed. Normal pencil tracings. Light impression at top left corner.
