Pickles by Brian Crane for March 15, 2019

oh, how harsh of you, Earl… this coming from a guy who grew up with cats and never a dog!

And the cat looks plenty pissed!

The cat is fine with a meaningless existence.

A likely excuse Earl! But nice recovery. It works. ;-)

It will happen to most of us

Instead of Earl talking to Opal…..lol. MEOW!

Earl strikes back ;-)

Fair enough, since Opal’s not the listening type.

Yes, I do.

And the cat is looking at Earl like “Don’t you drag me into this!”

Nice save, Earl!

Was Opal picking her nose…or about to, or after….in that first panel?

Well, that comment obviously woke the cat – maybe it will ponder that before going back to sleep.

Talk about living a meaningless existence!

" Do you MIND Opal" ?!!!!

So this is why people have pets? To get you out of those conversational gaffs?

The kitty is the only one he can talk to without a put-down…

We are just bubbles in the stream of life.

And the cat wonders why Earl is talking to himself.

“Well, now that you mention it…”

oh our cats will be in Heaven with us….God Has a marvelous sense of humor

Earl self-reflecting with the cat as a sounding board?

The cat is living its optimum existence.

I am the butterfly that flapped its wings in Brazil. Take that, Texas!
