===First-generation characters===
;Walt Wallet
:Full name Walter Weatherby Wallet. Patriarch of the family and veteran of [[World War I]].<ref name=Lambiek>[https://www.lambiek.net/artists/k/king.htm King entry], Lambiek's ''Comiclopedia''. Accessed December 10, 2018.</ref> For many years, he ran a successful furniture company, Wicker and Wallet. He has been retired for years.
;Phyllis Corkleigh Blossom Wallet

;Avery
:Walt's cranky neighbor, who drove an old car that started with a crank long after everyone else had bought a car with a starter.  He died "off-stage."
;Bill
:He also died "off-stage".
;Doc
:He retired with a young woman on his arm, going off to a well-deserved retirement community. He died "off-stage".
;Uriah Pert
:A rich and miserly man. He was long the villain of many stories. Since his death his reputation has been rehabilitated a little bit, and shown to have a better character than his nephew, Senator Bobble.

===Timeless characters===
These characters break the strip's rule about aging with the calendar.
;Joel
:Trashman. He drives a wagon drawn by a mule named Betsy.  His full name Joseph L. Smith is mentioned June 4, 1965. 
;Rufus
:A "good-for-not-much". He frequently accompanies Joel. He always has "kitty" hanging from the crook of his arm. He lives in a shack.
;Magnus
:Rufus' no-good brother. He is usually in jail.
;Melba Rose
:The forever mayor of the city. The strip on June 15, 2022, shows her as the current mayor.

===Second-generation characters===
;Allison "Skeezix" Wallet
:After Walt, the central character of the strip. He was left on Walt's doorstep February 14, 1921. He was born February 9, 1921.<ref>July 21, 1927 Gasoline Alley strip</ref> He married Nina Clock on June 28, 1944. For years he ran the Gasoline Alley Garage. Now he sometimes minds it when Clovia and Slim are away.
;Nina Clock Wallet
:Skeezix's wife.
;Sarge (Sgt. Bloney)
:Fought in WWII in Africa, Italy, and Yugoslavia alongside Skeezix and later worked as a handyman and mechanic for him.
;Hack 
:WWII veteran who worked for Skeezix as a mechanic.  His automotive repair skills were the reason the Wallet & Bobble Co. branched into automotive repairs and built the Gasoline Alley Garage.
;Corkleigh "Corky" Wallet
:Walt and Phyllis' son, born May 2, 1928, named after Phyllis's maiden name. He married Hope Hassel on October 1, 1949. He runs a diner in a standalone building.
;Hope Hassel Wallet
:Corky's wife.
;Judy Wallet Grubb
:Left in Walt's car February 28, 1935. She married Gideon Grubb on May 4, 1961.
;Senator Wilmer Bobble
:Pert's nephew. Originally an office coworker with Skeezix at Wumple & Co. in Detropolis. He also occasionally met Skeezix as a fellow soldier in Africa in WWII. After the war he partnered with Skeezix to form the Wallet and Bobble Co. This was originally a handyman and general repair business, but soon branched into automotive repairs and started the Gasoline Alley Garage. Went on to become an example of a self-serving politician. When seen he is disliked and is often the villain of the current story.

===Principal characters of subsequent generations===
;Clovia Wallet Skinner
:Third generation. Skeezix and Nina's daughter. Born May 15, 1949.  Married Slim Skinner. She runs the business end of the Gasoline Alley Garage.
;Slim Skinner
:Third generation. Married Clovia. Overweight and seems a slacker. He is principal, and perhaps only, mechanic at the Garage.  Sometimes seen are Slim's greedy, manipulative card-playing mother Lil, and cousin Chubby. Clovia considers both Lil and Chubby to be no good (particularly Lil, who frequently causes trouble and is quick to blame others for her wrongdoing).
;Thomas Walter "Chipper" Wallet
:Third generation.  Skeezix and Nina's son.  Born April 1, 1945.  He went to college, then joined the Navy and served in the Vietnam War as a medic.  After leaving the Navy he became a Physician Assistant.
;Phylip Figg "Nubbin" Wallet
:Third generation. Corky and Hope's first child. Born January 1, 1954.
;Adam Wallet
:Third generation. Corky's son. Born April 21, 1960. He came back from Peace Corps work in the South Pacific, with his new wife, and took over the old Clock farm in the country.
;Eve Wallet
:Third generation. Corky's daughter, Adam's twin sister. Born April 21, 1960. Apparently something of a black sheep of the family, she briefly moved into Walt's house after Phyllis' death, ostensibly to act as his caregiver. She invited a large number of people into the house, police were called, and she was last seen in jail.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gocomics.com/gasolinealley/2004/08/14|title=Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for August 14, 2004 &#124; GoComics.com|first=Jim|last=Scancarelli|date=14 August 2004|website=GoComics.com|access-date=24 December 2021}}</ref>
