Pickles by Brian Crane for May 10, 2010

Selective hearing.

Earth to Earl………….

Houston, we seem to have a problem……

Only in body.

Nelson has the right idea about his Grampa!

Joe: You’re right; he’s another Norma Bates. I hope I didn’t spoil the movie for anybody.

Nelson is my kind of kid!

Maybe Earl’s reading the comics. He doesn’t want to be disturbed.

Perhaps he’s fallen asleep behind that newspaper. We senior citizens can fall asleep anywhere, in any position…zzzzzzzzzz

Not me, the only place I fall asleezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Payback!! LOL today

Unfair portrait of Earl. The TV would also be blaring while he was reading. Let’s get this right.

Maybe that newspaper is soundproof.

The cone of silence?

Check out the strip of 5/24/1009.

Oops! 2009.

I think Earl turned his hearing aid off and fell asleep while he held the newspaper. Nelson tried to tell Gramma Opal not to disturb Grampa Earl. It is so funny priceless! LOLs!

Female voice - blah blah blah

Whatever he says costs him in the form of an insult, so why bother to answer?

Uh, we better take this one seriously. Remember what happen to Grampa Johnston in the waining years of For Better Or For Worse?

My Grandparents’ life story. Yup.

Male pattern deafness

And Nelson already has it!

When I am reading, nothing from the “outside” world can penetrate. People have tried to talk to me and I don’t even realize they are even there, much less talking to ME.
