Pickles by Brian Crane for September 25, 2013

Ouch!

Touche!

Actually the parallels are staggering!

HEY, I resemble that.

Now she sounds like my ex-wife talking to my ex-girlfriend.

You know, Brian, I have more of your comics in my personal comics collection than anyone else’s. I hope you never retire. Keep up the good work!

Burn!! She got in a double insult there: she’s saying Opal has no taste and that Earl is obnoxious. Look in the mirror, ducky.

She’s just jealous because Earl married her sister instead of her.

My favorite weed is Lantana. It attracts the butterflies.

OOh! Opal should -itch slap her! In tomorrow’s strip, Earl will look out the window and see two old ladies mud wrestling.

weeds are in the eye of the beholder

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Crownvetch is actually planted around interstate highways. It holds the soil in place.

I guess Earl’s like a Dandelion weed… Good enough to eat.

One Thanksgiving my husband and I went to camp in the woods (in Florida, but it got cold enough), and his brother and sister-in-law invited my mom to Thanksgiving dinner. They kept dissing my husband in front of her. She didn’t say anything to them about it, but she was not amused. I guess that an insult-a-minute is de rigueur for some comic strips, but it’s not so funny in real life.

Amen, Pearl!

(Wikipedia) A noxious weed is a plant species that has been designated by country, state, provincial, or national agricultural authority as one that is injurious to agricultural and/or horticultural crops, natural habitats and/or ecosystems..Following this definition the morning glory loved by many is a weed.

Earl is fine…but hers was a noxious statement by a noxious person. Not funny at all.

In Florida, it’s the Burmese python, which has invaded the Everglades. (Yes, I know that animals are not “weeds,” but if they were, Burmese pythons would be way up there.)
