Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for October 19, 2022

Should’ve seen this coming … ✨

So does this mean that the auto repair shop never once had a garbage truck there in the literal century that Walt was either working there or had owner-level access? Not once in all that time? Or is the whole garbage truck obsession something Jim just made up within the last month, and we’re all just pretending it’s always been a part of Walt’s personality?

I had pictured an actual motorized vehicle, by the sounds heard from inside. Silly me to think that in this day and age, in a first world country, that a creature drawn wagon would still be in use for pulling the garbage.

Judging by the rubes’ failed recent attempt to get Becky to take them to Hollywood, I’m not so sure that Walt should go anywhere with them.

I myself never wanted to ride on the back of a garbage truck until a few days ago.

I think I would prefer to ride shotgun on the garbage truck these days!

Yeah! Joel is back!

…And we hand it over to Rufus & Joel

Well, this was a good arc—until those two showed up!!

you could have got a red or yellow ? over at Fusco Bros., but meanwhile, cue the ominous music

Most garbage trucks around here have a mechanical arm that grabs and dumps the can. The days of a couple of guys on the back of the truck seems to be over.

Joel and Rufus.

Proof that there is no such word as “unbreakable”.
