Rusty's Johnny is a straight steal from Dagwood.

Oh, yeah - it was blatant! Of course Rusty was Marvel's answer to Blondie, with sort of rust-colored hair in place of blonde. There were a few other Blondie rip-offs whose names escape me now that I've occasionally run into during my searches. No spankings among any of them so far.
I remember that just a little bit later, oil companies were among the first businesses to use credit cards. At first they were not electronically processed. Instead the gas station attendant used a little roller to make a carbon copy of the raised letters and numbers on the card.
It's mostly self-service in America too these days, Willjohn, except maybe in Oregon (a state ruined by the single city of Portland) where there is or was an idiotic law insisting that gas only be pumped by attendants. American gas stations today often have little mini-marts for things like soft drinks, candy, and cigarettes, but the automotive service portions are completely gone and exist as separate businesses with separate locations. I can't help missing the old days, when because gas stations offered service they had to run air compressors and you could get free air for your car or bicycle.
