  Gasoline Alley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gasoline Alley is a comic strip created by Frank King that was first published on 24 November 1918.
Gradually, the Gasoline Alley characters married, had kids, and it became the first comic strip-soap opera in the post-War babyboom 1940s, before there was even such a genre as the conventional soap opera.
A 15-minute radio version of the strip was developed and broadcast for a time in the same decade, sponsored by spark plug and parts maker Autolite, which focused upon Skeezix as a young adult running a gas station and garage.

Skeezix was and is still the main character of the comic strip Gasoline Alley.
He was first introduced as an abandoned baby on the doorstep of Walt Wallet, a young bachelor who had spent much of his free time to date in the alley behind his home working on his jalopie with his neighborhood freinds.
There was considerable discussion in the Alley about a real name for Skeezix and Frank King, in his creative way, had a newspaper contest which resulted in many fine entries but at last on December 2nd, 1921, Skeezix was officially named Allison which was derived from the fact that he was an "Alley Son".
