Pickles by Brian Crane for December 25, 2009

We Are watching…and it is like looking into a mirror. We see ourselves in you.

And someone is laughing at you!

Don’t tell Opal though, unless you wanta ge hurt real bad..

I get the feeling too when I’m in Walmart and hear someone on the loudspeaker say “Security! Scan section 4.

Great strip for today Brian! Merry christmas Opal, Earl & Brian!

FIRSTWIFE… I for one do not see myself in Earl and Opal, and if I did, I would never admit it.

Merry Christmas to you Brian,Opal, and Earl… Thanks for breaking the “third” wall today….

You do know we all love your drawings?

Spock had that feeling, too…and you were both right.

You da man, Earl !

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL from Tipton IN !

Joe Doty; IT’S STILL JUST A ‘TOON AND YOU’RE STILL A HUMBUG!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Earl! ;)

I love Opal’s flesh-colored glasses lense in the first panel. Stylish, but must be hard to see out of.

I’m glad they didn’t deprive us of the colour today, so bright and Christmassy. My husband and I are in our 50’s now but we’re beginning to turn into Opal and Earl in little ways. But when we get to be their age I hope I’m not as critical as Opal.

Merry Christmas everyone!

now, now funisgone…. mustn’t be crass!– you are on the cusp of being accused of being a cyber bully— even though he does seem to have a knack for throwing a bucket of cold water over a perfectly good comic with an inane and totally disconnected comment….

oops! cyber bullies are everywhere!

god bless us everyone!

Not every cartoonist is into that “breaking the fourth wall” bit, you know. I am (at times). Merry Xmas.

Well, so much for the 4th wall…but a Merry Christmas to you and your family, Brian…and to all of the rest of you too!

Yes, that’s right Earl. We all still watch at you both on the strip. We smile at you both, too!

Merry Christmas!

Dittooo!

Relax Doty!

you are
