	Description:		The strip's origins lie in the Chicago Tribune, which ran a Sunday page, The Rectangle, where staff artists contributed one-shot panels, continuing plots or themes. One corner of The Rectangle was home to Frank King's Gasoline Alley, where characters Walt, Doc, Avery and Bill held weekly conversations about automobiles. This black-and-white panel slowly gained recognition and eventually the daily Tribune picked up the feature, either on August 25, 1918 or January 1919, according to varied accounts.
