Pickles by Brian Crane for January 12, 2019

good luck a that, Nelson, but then there won’t be any great-grandchildren for Earl and Opal

Good communications is the foundation of a strong marital union.

In this country marriage is the #1 cause for divorce.

Let the record show that on Saturday, January 12th, 2019, Nelson gets it.

And just what shape to you want Earl to be in Opal ?

See Thursday and Friday’s strips to catch up on the story arc…

If he hasn’t “shaped up” in her eyes by now, it ain’t gonna happen. Besides, she needs as much work as Earl.

Little Nelson just made the wisest statement in this whole strip!

Smart kid !

You’ve got that right, Nelson.

Who is this kid ?A young Enstein ?

Pickles is a great strip, but Opal makes me angry more often than I like.

I think his little pal agrees.

My grand father said “Love is blind, but marriage is the eye opener”

Or ship out.

Spot on, Nelson. At least… not if it’s going to be like you’re witnessing here…

First one was a battle of the sexes lasted forty years was great second one not so much but still nice

I agree with him, sometimes its too complicated(married 47 years in March 2019)

My mother was like that, my ex and her family as well. Some of them are dead and I have married someone who does not play games like that. Life is better.

Problems are only ever complicated if you try to figure them out.

I used to be with a guy like that. Key phrase: Used to be.

Words of ??? Wisdom?

LOL The expression of the dog’s face.

Smart kid.

Wise decision.
