==Radio== {{Main|Gasoline Alley (radio)}} Several radio adaptations were made. ''Uncle Walt and Skeezix'' in 1931 starred [[Bill Idelson]] as Skeezix with Jean Gillespie as Nina Clock. Jimmy McCallion was Skeezix in the series that ran on [[NBC]] from February 17 to April 11, 1941, continuing on the [[Blue Network]] from April 28 to May 9 of that same year. The 15-minute series aired weekdays at 5:30 pm. Along with Nina ([[Janice Gilbert]]), the characters included Skeezix's boss Wumple (Cliff Soubier) and Ling Wee (Junius Matthews), a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. Charles Schenck directed the scripts by Kane Campbell. The syndicated series of 1948β49 featured a cast of Bill Lipton, [[Mason Adams]], and Robert Dryden. Sponsored by [[Autolite]], the program used opening theme music by the Polka Dots, a harmonica group. The 15-minute episodes focused on Skeezix running a gas station and garage, the Wallet and Bobble Garage, with his partner, Wilmer Bobble. In New York, this series aired on WOR from July 16, 1948, to January 7, 1949.<ref name="Dunning">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fi5wPDBiGfMC&dq=%22Gasoline+Alley,+comedy+serial%22+%22weekly+transcriptions%22&pg=PA279 |last=Dunning |first=John |author-link=John Dunning (detective fiction author) |title=On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |date=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY |isbn=978-0-19-507678-3 |page=279 |edition=Revised |access-date=2019-09-05}}</ref>
