Hey, I worked hard to look this way. Like I tell my kids, they’re the ones who are responsible fro every grey hair and every worry line on my brow. Trouble is, they don’t buy it !
You can bet that once everybody starts wearing Enhanced Reality Glasses and personal holographic personas, NOBODY will look like an old grandpa … or an old grandma, either.
As a Grandpa, I find this amusing…..as a member of the Lions, I would have preferred to hear her say, “donate them to the Lions so they can give the gift of sight to perhaps a Grandpa who can’t see his grand children”…. But that would not be as funny.
Since Sylvia gets to throw away something of Dan’s that he chooses NOT to throw away, that gives Dan the right to throw away something of Sylvia’s that she prefers not to throw away. I have little doubt women will disagree, rationalizing that opinion by agreeing with Sylvia’s baseless, illogical “reason.”
Now go out and get yourself some thick black framesWith the glass so dark thay won’t even know your nameAnd the choice is up to you cause they come in two classesRhinestone shades and cheap sunglassesOh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah- ZZ Top
Newbies:Sylvia is the d/o Earl and Opal, she’s married to Dan the photographer. They both work in separate careers, house next door, leaving Nelson to gramma and grampa as his “day-care”.. I’m not so sure about Roscoe and Muffin’s lineage. https://www.facebook.com/picklescomic
There’s a old guy that I know that wears those kind of glasses that I see from time to time..I always ask him..“Did you just get back from the eye doctor with your eyes dialated?’..He always says..”Huh?"(poor guy has alzheimer s)

Earl, not everybody can pull it off with the savoir faire you exhibit.

I’ve been reading this strip for years and I’ve never seen him. We rarely see the daughter. It’s usually just Earl, Opal and Nelson.

Dan appears in one of the Pickles collections…If I knew how to post a picture on my IPad, I’d show you. He’s skinny and has black hair….

I don’t think Nelson wasts to hear that, and neither do my grandkids…

This is the first time I’ve heard of a reference to Dan.

Nothing at all, Earl.
Roscoe’s expression reads “Why are you asking me?”

In other words they make him look cool.

In the second panel they look like those you could put on over regular glasses. Wouldn’t mind having a pair of those. I’m tired of my clipons.

She doesn’t see her dad as old, that’s why she said that.
