Pickles by Brian Crane for January 04, 2011

She’s moving one step up today.

I think he’s over-dressed for Wal-Mart.

She hasn’t been in my Wal-Mart…..

or my dollar store!

so bossy…!

Sounds like my wife.

She is afraid to get to that dressing-styles-in-walmart page, I guess.

So you can put on the clothes you wore yesterday then.

I see no need to dress up just to go to Wally World.

\\//_

Opal Earl is fine your not going upscale to Sears or Penny’s.

Dollar Store…Wal-Mart…it is ALL the SAME!! No need to change, Earl! Just grab your coat and hat and GO!!

Some of the outfits in Wal-Mart…..Priceless!

When you go to Wall-Mart you do have to dress differently. I think spandex short shorts and a tube top would be appropriate. Now…what should Opal wear?

Opal sounds like my EX-wife.

Shouldn’t that be “Get up [comma] Earl?”

If you’d seen the emails I get with photos of wal-mart shoppers you’d know she means for him to put on a pink boa and net stockings with a skid mark on his undies, which are showing through a rip. Now I’ve made myself sick. I never read comments that are this long, I could go on and on and feel pretty sure no one is reading this anyway. blah blah blah

I work for Walmart and I’m going to post this in our back lounge. You do want to look a little nice when you go out, no matter where you go. Has anyone looked at peopleofwalmart.com. I see this everyday.

I thought those walmart things were phonied up - no? I cannot believe people really go out like that!

I avoid Walmart because of the nightmare situation for parking. I am handicapped and the spaces reserved for us are seeming filled with what apprears to be real healthy people.

Pajamas & slippers are common sights. At least get dressed!

I love peopleofwalmart.com and to think they are working with Home land sec. scary.

Sit down Earl. Shee’s not even in the car yet, so you still have another 20-30 minutes to wait.

@Ash - NO, you do not need a comma in that sentence. You can state “Get up.” and drop “Earl” entirely as the noun (the person I’m facing while speaking) becomes understood in this imperitive. It is correct as it stands because “Earl” is the noun being acted upon (or in this case, directed). With a comma you have introduced the classic comma splice. You have seperated the action from the actor. Bad, bad Ash! I wouldn’t get too trippy on the grammar in comics in any case, my screen would be covered with grease pencil correction marks if I didn’t watch myself. I stopped taking even the “good” papers ages ago because editing has virtually evaporated. “Anyone can run spell check and grammer check in Word” is the bane of my existance! Sorry for the semi-rant, I used to edit for a living and it never really goes away!

Oh? There’s a DIFFERENCE?

YEEESSS! Wal-Mart is where I work at. :-) (But I do not see Opal and Earl around somewhere at Wal-Mart anyway.)

Take me as I am or leave me alone…my wife knows this much…

Any store or restaurant with a dress code stricter than “Please do” is not worth going to.

Ya not Nearly Weird enough for wal-mart
