Pickles by Brian Crane for February 05, 2019

If he’s made a fortune, then why did he need to stay at Earl’s place? Unless he’s looking for new material…

so Leon is an expy of Brian Crane?

This is serious fourth wall stuff here.

Can’t wait to see/hear the backstory on THIS!

Well Earl, on the bright side this is evidence that many people find you funny!

Well Leon who you hiding from ?

Oh no – its really about my husband and me.

Brian Crane in his own strip, should be interesting.

shouldn’t his name be Brian then?

Hmmmmmmmm. Going through a little therapy I think?

But Earl, so many opportunities I could not pass them up!

Does Brian Crane go by ‘Leon’ to his family?

What wall did we just break?

Here is the back story from the horse’s mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9OIv_0TeCA

Is this true?

Has this become “Pearls before Swine – the Golden Years?”

My character “Earl Relish” is NOTHING like you! {snicker}

The 4th wall, she is weak.

It all makes sense. He HASN’T been spying on me.

Is this Brian’s way of saying he is using his younger brother and sister in law as material?

Now I understand why this toon is so realistic and funny!

A fortune?

Okay, Wikipedia has a photo of Brian Crane and this looks nothing like him—contrary to my expectation.

More to the point, does Brian Crane have an older brother Leon???

Why has Pickles been removed from Star Ledger? It’s one of the best ever comic strips !

Ha! That’s who they were talking about in the series last November! https://www.gocomics.com/pickles/2018/10/04
