Pickles by Brian Crane for December 27, 2015

Earl’s got to keep his blood sugar a little up every once in a while though.

“Oh, Earl! You animal!”{Unexpected sound of giggling)

I am Earl Pickles!

Tough break, Nelson.

Opal probably eats & replenishes when Earl isn’t looking!!!

Opal needs a new hiding place. But what good is buying candy if you don’t let people eat it?

It was probably stale anyhow.

I never understood people who can have a bowl of candy in plain sight until it is stale and dusty. It would never happen in this house!

my mom once stashed some fancy chocolate and couldn’t find where she’d hid it. my dad was under suspicion, but usually his raids involved much careless evidence left behind. i thought when we moved the hidden chocolate would be uncovered, but no. so either 1 of us kids found and ate it without leaving the wrapping behind, or dad actually managed that for once

My mother used to hide xmas prezzies from us kids (no surprise) but she would forget they were hidden and we’d occasionally get prezzies in May, or August, or…

What’s the problem? Candy is for eating isn’t it?

Put some ribbon candy in the dish. No one will touch that twice.
