Pickles by Brian Crane for January 22, 2019

Well, okay. Good to see you listen.

then what’s the dresser for anyway? just for Opal’s own clothes?

Dang, I’m going have to get me a ceiling fan.

Next time you give Earl a “suggestion”, Opal…BE SPECIFIC!

Me, I have a poster bed for that.

Now she has to start telling where TO leave them.

Yes Opal Earl was checking to see how your brain would react ;-)

The humor of a teen age boy — or as I remember it when my son was that age.

At least they aren’t hanging from the ceiling fan in the lounge.

This is so much better?

My mum used to complain about my sister and me bringing our bath towels up into the bedroom. “Don’t leave your wet towel on the carpet . . . the bare floor. . .the bed. . .the furniture!” One day my sister reached up and flipped the towel over the corner of the ceiling light. Mum was not amused.

Earl had the fan on high and in winter mode and the PJs for sucked up there!

A new version of “airing out” ones clothes?

All he does is try to please her and what thanks does he get?

That’s what I have a clothes pole for.

If he hangs his BVDs up there he won’t have to wash them either!

I was just following orders!

For a minute there I thought they’d been having a wild time! Haha! Then I remembered it was Opal and Earl and not Arlo and Janis.

Except for the last panel.. I would have guessed a particular exciting night while Opal was visiting her sister.

They needed ventilation.

I picked up an old multi pegged coat rack that was missing one section so that it was only 4 feet tall. Solved my problem with hubby.

“If you don’t remember what happened last night, I won’t embarrass you by telling”

Wild night at the Pickles house …

Alternate response by Earl: So…you don’t remember last night?

I am drying them out from my shower.

Another good example of the dictum “Specify. Don’t Imply.”

It’s not a marriage, it’s an adventure.

I thought marriage was “supposed” to be an adventure????
