Junk Drawer by Ellis Rosen for March 31, 2023

What is it??!!

Maybe a grater?

She can put it in her Junk Drawer

That’s TWO dirty, old objects with no discernable function?

I suppose that sounds better than “I saw it and I thought of you”.

“I don’t know what it is, but Antiques Roadshow said it’s worth $3,000 – $5,000.”

What is she implying?

OMG! It’s my mom! She gives my sisters and the lady across the street (??) all the stuff I remember sentimentally from my childhood and offers me scrap nobody wants.

Thanks Gran, I promise I’ll not regift…

“Uh, Thanks Grandma…”

{takes it to Antiques Roadshow}

“It’s a rare version of the very first turnip twaddler, estimated value of $50,000 to $65,000!”

“Oh Wow! Wow! I’m speechless! Thank you! Grandma will be so happy!”

Grandparent gift.

Yeah, my mom gave me lots of stuff that was never supposed to come out of the “closet.” #overmylimitonemotionalbaggage

That’s like every yard sale I’ve ever been to.

Throw it out now and you can rent a smaller dumpster later.

It’s been over 11 days that this comic has been posted now. It officially has become an old, dirty object with no discernible function.
