RICHARD

Gasoline Alley
creator
dies at 77

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) —
Richard (Dick) Moores, au-
thor and artist of the syndi-
eated comic strip Gasoline
Alley, died at a hospital in
Asheville on Tuesday.

He started weaving the
tales of Skeezix, Nina, Slim,
Clovia, Joel and Rufus in

Mail.

Moores, a native of Lin
coln, Neb., drew cartoons
from the time he left high
school. He attended the Aca.
demy of Fine Arts in Chicago
for a year and spent five
years working for Dick Tracy
creator Chester Gould.

‘His compositions are tremendous. He's
got wonderful intricate detail.’

1960.

In recent years, Moores
composed the stories, draw-
ing the faces in ink and sket-
ching the aciton in pencil,
then sending the strips to
Jim Scanearelli of Charlotte,
N.C., who would ink in the
drawings.

“When I came on the scene
that gave him more time to
devote to story lines,” Scan
carelli said in a February in-
terview.

“His compositions are
tremendous. He's got won
derful, intricate details. He's
one of the last of the — I hate
to say old timers.”

The comic strip appears in
180 daily newspapers and 125
Sunday newspapers, includ
ing the Toronto Globe and

Moores did the Jim Hardy
strip, which was later chan
ged to Windy and Paddles,
and shared a Chicago studio
with the late Frank King, the
creator of Gasoline Alley.

He also spent 14 years in
the Walt Disney comic-strip
department, where he drew
Uncle Remus and Scamp.
Moores also wrote and drew
many comic books, albums
and hard-cover books featur-
ing Disney characters.

Gasoline Alley carried the
stamp of Moores’ early Dis
hey experiences in the collec.
tion of animals that became
hallmarks — Rufus and his
cat, the Great Dane and the
Doberman living in the too-
small apartment with Slim
and Clovia.

TORONTO (CP) — For better or for worse —
naturally — Lynn Johnston went to the National
Cartoonists Society's big shindig in Washington last
weekend not knowing what to expect.

As it turned out, both she and her husband got quite
a surprise.

Johnston, creator of the r family comic strip
For Better or {For Worse, was flabbergasted when she
was called on to accept the society's coveted Reuben
Award, the first woman ever to win it.

“Td never won anything before in my life,” she said
in a telephone interview from her home-studio in Corbeil,

For Better or For Worse”

Johnston wins Reuben

Johnston said, quickly adding: “which, of course, Til
wear.”

Johnston, whose cartoons are syndicated in more
than 500 newspapers in 10 or 11 countries including the

“He's not nearly as typical male. It's far more of @
50-50 role.”

Johnston, who lived for 10 years in Hamilton before |
moving to Lynn Lake, is married to a man with “muskeg
on his boots” who took to dentistry as a profession that
could be practised anywhere, enabling him to live in his

Ont., near North Bay. “It's a pretty shocking and
sobering thing.

“Weve been going to those awards every year for
five years, and they're just one big party. I always look
forward to them, meeting all the people.

“I had no idea I was going to win.”

But_ Johnston, who chats ina friendly, easy way,
almost with the self-deprecating humor of Elly, the
housewife heroine of her comic strip, laughed at the gift
her dentist husband, Rod, had to accept.

Since the Reuben Award had always gone to a man,
organizers always came up with something appropriate
for his spouse — and they apparently thought it would be
the same this year.

HUSBAND PLEASED?
“They gave my husband a lady's small gold bracelet,”

‘The Reuben is named in honor of the late Reuben
(Rube) Goldberg, a well-known cartoonist for Hearst
Newspapers who died at age 87 in 1970.

Castlegar News — she wasn't sure of the exact number
— is a native of Vancouver who had her studio in Lynn
Lake, Man., for five years, but moved to Corbeil when
Lynn Lake's mining economy nosedived three years ago.

At 38, she has two children — Katie, 8, and Aaron, 13

and she keeps her comic-strip children — Elizabeth and

Michael — about three years younger than her own

youngsters. Elly's fictional husband, John Patterson, is
also a dentist.

But Johnston has often said her real-life husband “is
a much nicer person than the fellow in the strip.

WA TON (AP) — The mighty. gorilla King Kong
which frightened moviegoers in 1933 as he scaled the
Empire State Building with Fay Wray wriggling in his
clutches actually was a mink-clad doll only 25 centimetres
high.

Rudolph Valentino, the epitome of macho in the 1920s,
was a very thin young marr who, for his role Ti Bl66d and
Sand, was corseted to squeeze into a bullfighter's costume so
small it could have fit a nine-year-old boy.

Audrey Hepburn, whom audiences remember as a
slightly built gamin. actually is five feet 10 inches tall and
towered over many of her leading men.

The huge, twinkling spaceship in Steven Spielberg’s
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is less than three metres
wide and a hobbyist’s dream.

Hidden throughout the maze of model kit junk are tiny

jokes left by the mother ship's designers — a miniature
cemetery, a Volkswagen van, traffic stoplights and a refugee
from George Lucas’ Star Wars, the lovable robot R2D2.

“The screen plays some strange tricks,” says Michael
Webb. curator of a Smithsonian Institution exhibition
entitled Hollywood: Legend and Reality, which opened April
17 atthe National Museum of Atneriean History.

The show includes seven video screens and a taped
guide narrated by Gregory Peck

Sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution Travelling
Exhibition Service and financed by Time Inc., the show will
remain in Washington until June 15, when it will begin a
tour of New York, Miami, Cincinnati, Denver and Los
Angeles until early 1988.

A modified version will be mounted for travel to Japan
and to several European capitals.

The British-born Webb, a freelance writer and film and

exhibition that celebraies the magic of the movies.

There's a blue helmet from one of Mack Sennett's
silent-era Keystone Kops and the 10-gallon hat worn by Tom
Mix, an old neon RKO sign from Radio City Music Hall in
New York, and a neon-lit white violin played by a chorus
dancer in Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers of 1933.

The story is told in shoes — Shirley Temple's little

Most lose

OTTAWA (CP) — Most
households will lose thou-
sands of dollars during the
next five years because of the
1985 and 1986 Conservative
budgets, the National Council
of Welfare said in a report
made public today.

The council's calculations
show that only welfare reci-
pients, and a few rich tax-
payers, will have larger dis-
posable incomes as a result of
the host of changes in the
Income Tax Act and changes
in family benefits announced
in the two budgets.

“It’s going to have a major
impact on people,” council
director Ken Battle said in an
interview.

The council, an advisory
group to Welfare Minister
Jake Epp, made detailed cal
culations for typical families
and individuals with different
incomes and found far more
losers than winners under
Conservative fiseal policy.

For a two-earner family
with two children, for exam-

in budget

ple, total losses in di bli

income over the five years
ranges from $101 for a family
earning just under $11,000 a
year to $4,602 for a family
earning $50,000.

A family of welfare _reci-
pients would come out $758
ahead, while a family with an
income of $100,000 woud! lose
$2,182. Losses in other in-
come groups were generally
in the range of $2,000 to
$3,000.

council discovered
much the same ‘losses for
one-earner couples with two
children, single parents with
two children and individuals
with no dependents.
BENEFIT SLIGHTLY

However, in those three
situations, the richest tax-
payers could stand to benefit
slightly from the two budgets
if they can take full ad
vantage of the maximum
possible tax reductions for
contributions to pension
plans or RRSPs.

The report concludes that
most people, including work
ers with incomes below the
poverty line, stand to see

their disposable i
drop because of the budgets.
“All Canadians but those at
the bottom and the top of the
income ladder will lose dis-
posable income as a result,” it
said.
Battle said all these calcul-
ations can be made with pre-

cision based on information in
the budget speeches of May
28, 1985, and Feb. 26 of this
year.

The actual situation facing

worse, he added, because of
the impact of higher federal
sales and excise taxes.
