Synopsis
In this third volume of the much-praised Walt and Skeezix reprint series, the domestic side of Gasoline Alley receives full play. An old flame comes to visit Walt, with an eye toward marriage. Meanwhile, Walt pines for Mrs. Blossom, the neighborhood widow. Out of these entanglements, a long engagement and wedding ensue.
The eighty-page introduction features many private photographs of the cartoonist Frank King and his family and delves into the marketing of Gasoline Alley in the 1920s and 1930s, with many dolls and toys taken from the personal collection of Chris Ware, the series editor and award-winning cartoonist.

FRANK KING was born in Wisconsin and died in 1969. He was recently featured in the critically acclaimed exhibit Masters of American Comic
Review
"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."
--The New York Times Book Review
"This Chris Ware-designed collection . . . caught even hardcore comics devotees flatfooted with its boundless wonders." --The Onion
