Texas was not independent from Mexico until 1838. Why would they have a newspaper in English? ‘Gasoline Alley,’ a comic strip first appeared in 1918. Gasoline wasn’t invented until the mid 19th century. The author of the article needs some more ‘edumacation.’

He often pokes fun of it. The point is that the strip has been around forever.

The author was born in Texas.

And good morning.
