Pickles by Brian Crane for December 19, 2018

Busted!

Both parents are home and I don’t see Nelson.

A rare appearance from hunky Dan.

Moral of this story: When you are married, don’t live next door to any of your parents.

Yesterday Opal was accessing the printer remotely, now we know why!

I knew that they would figure it out.

time to change the printer settings!

Ever think of the ON/OFF switch ? Why leave the printer on all the time ?

Notice when Dan said it was very strange, she immediately thought of Opal.

Unusual to see a Pickles strip without Earl or Opal.

She’s printing out a subliminal suggestion! She wants to be a grandma again.

One drawback of having your printer open.

This can be done from one celestial body to another. Various options are available.

And youngsters are supposed to be tech-savvy. Ha!

Hints don’t work. I’ve been trying that for the past 5 years. Maybe this would work!

Didn’t take long to figure that one out.

It appears that Sylvia has been putting on some weight. Just the holiday season? Hmmm… the characters don’t age, so why should other features change?

Um; Have always wondered if “substitute parenting” works for everyone ? Long as I’ve been reading this strip, Nelson is in the grand parents house more then his own!

First time I have seen Dan in your strip in ages.

“NEED MORE. SEND NOW.”

My Gran’ma tried that kind of nonsense (giving us an antique painting of a baby) when my wife and I were first married. Also other horse-hockey like calling up at 6:30 in the morning on my ONLY day off for the week. Made us determined to NOT have kids, if this was the kind of stuff they’d be greeted with.

Why would she want to hint that they have another baby, when the first one seems to mostly live at his grandparents house?

Time to either turn it off… or send Opal a bill for ink and paper!

DAN IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!
