Previous owners deceased wife?

She must also have been reading Stephen King’s From a Buick 8 if she guessed that the trunk held “a portal to another dimension in time and space”.

Oh, common. Tell us what he found.

Somewhere in that mass mess she hit it!

An order of Bombas socks or a Caspar mattress?

The rest of the elephant?

Not fair to keep us hanging! My guess is a treasure chest full of gold coins and jewelry.

A cheap new car?

A full-sized spare and the original jack.

Inquiring minds want to know…

Dang it! I wanted to know what Shorty found.

since he is laughing so hard I am going with it being a guy type joke, a box of 60s porn

Jimmy Hoffa.

Don’t know what it is, but it glows green.

Thanks a lot Betty, for taking up the whole cartoon with guesses. Now we’ll never know.

Do you want to know what I think? Probably not, but it needs saying. It’s annoying when people start conversations like that. I’m guessing D.B. Cooper’s luggage with the money inside.

A spare bedroom?

spare tire

spare ribs?

spare key?
