For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 25, 2024

This is a goldmine!

So, Michael’s journalism career really takes off! And when his story is printed, will Gordon be cited for hoarding trash?

Looks like he has some very valuable antiques he could make some big cash on.

Gordo is going to be rich

May end up with a mini museum with a heritage collection

Because being an inarticulate goofball with your own private junkyard is such an original concept..

Antiques Roadshow here we come!

I think Michael’s story will help Gordon straighten up and have these items removed easier and quicker than he ever thought possible!!

Did you notice the high board fence? Keeps the officials away. It tends to be OK if hidden from view.

Call American Pickers tv show and they’ll take it off your hands and pay you good money for those items!

I see money, lots of $$$$. The yard is full of Antiques

I know it’s only a comic, but, the old gas station stuff in now collected. Oil cans, signs, pumps, you name it. Big $$

Wooga Farley!

I see a new sign, Gordons Garage & Museum.

Write it, Michael!

It would make a good story about horders who could never part with anything and now live in squalor

Gordon might not know it but his money troubles are over. Visible pumps are at least $2000

If I remember right, because of that, it helps Gord to get the money to help fix the place up.

No spreading chestnut tree, though. Sigh.

“Cited for hoarding trash” on property he owns? Je ne le pense pas!

call the pickers they’ll buy the old stuff and your garage is paid for!

I sometimes go to this town where there’s an old gas station with original pumps that say “Contains Lead” and say 30 cents a gallon. I don’t think they work.

If those old pumps are of the “Five (or Ten) Gallon Visible” variety they could be worth big bucks. Some have sold for over 2 grand in good condition.

American Pickers show will be stopping there!

Wow, those are antique Gems! These days they would sell on eBay for enough to pay for any renovations he wants to do, or at least give them some opporating capital.

And I see CASH!!

Had to Google “Buckboard”.

Gordo could make a fortune for all of that on American Pickers!!

Gordon, you could be sitting on a antique gold mine!

There you go! Two young up and comers helping each other get their careers off the ground. Well done kids!

Is this a hat tip to Gasoline Alley?
