RICHARD MOORES (1909-1986) was a renowned American cartoonist whose best known work was the comic strip "Gasoline Alley", which he worked on for nearly three decades (1956-1986). He found success first by 14 years working on Disney comics, inking the Mickey Mouse comic strip, drawing the Uncle Remus & His Tales Of Br'er Rabbit strip and later Scamp. The best known of these is the Mickey Mouse story "The Wonderful Whizzix" (Four Color #427, Oct. 1952), which some regard as the inspiration for the Disney Film "The Love Bug". Moores moved to Florida when he was hired by Frank King in 1956 to assist him on the "Gasoline Alley" Moores' signature began to appear on the strip in 1964, and when King died in 1969, Moores assumed writing and drawing duties for the daily strip. When Perry retired in 1975, Moores added the Sunday strip to his workload and combined the stories into one continuing story. In his later years, Moores composed stories, penciled faces and sketched the action, and then sent the strips to another artist for inking, such as his assistant, Jim Cancarelli, who took over the strip upon his death. Moores died of liver and kidney failure. Although in other strips, children would mature into adults, "Gasoline Alley" was the first comic strip in which adults aged. Allison "Skeezix" Wallet started out at a foundling left on bachelor Walt's doorstep in 1921, grew up to fight in the Pacific during WWII, married Nina Clock, and they had a daughter, Clovia, in 1949, who married Slim, a mechanic at Skeezix's "Gasoline Alley" garage. "Gasoline Alley" had strong characters that were animals. Joel was always with his mule (Becky), and Rufus carried his cat (Kitty) under his arm. A Doberman Pinscher (Kleine) and a Great Dane (Sieg) comically shared Slim and Clovia's already too-small apartment. While the "Los Angeles Times" speculated that the use of animal characters may be due to his Disney experience, Moores did not market as Disney did, though Frank King licensed a Clovia doll and held a contest to name Clovia. Moores said that Walt Wallet was his alter ego. "I use Walt to create homey situations and for anybody who's feeling his age to identify with," Moores said two months before his death. "He's the father figure. He's what keeps them together. He's the one I go to when I want to pull the strip together." ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED, NOT DEFECTIVE, & GENUINE.
