Pickles by Brian Crane for October 27, 2019

And that’s how the fight started.

I think even Linus van Pelt would mistake Opal Pickles in orange trousers for the Great Pumpkin.

Good thing he waited to carve…

Earl will shortly have an orange head. (Please note, I am not being political here.)

Oops

Earl may be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Or green pants in the watermelon patch.

Honest mistake ;-)

The purple polka dot blouse should have been a giveaway.

Perhaps a little “back-handed” compliment? Come on, Earl does have a sense of humor — occasionally.

Uh, oh….

I could have sworn I’ve seen this humongous pumpkin before…..

“Did you just hear a buck snort?”

It’s gourd jiss.

Earl how have you lived so long? I can think of so many times Opal should’ve killed you and you can count this among them.

now THAT’S funny!!

Those are twin pumpkins…

Wow – Did he just call Opal’s butt HUMONGOUS..???? – OUCH..!!!!!!!!!

Okay, many of us are going to be dressed up in orange this week. Keep the comments to yourselves. That includes you, Earl.

Earl’s death certificate lists the cause of death as blunt trauma to the head by pumpkin

Now, would be a good time to RUN!!!

At least she’s doing something constructive Earl, while you’re making adolescent remarks.

Earl needs new glasses. His old ones are about to get slapped off his face anyway.

You are going to suffer Earl…SLOWLY…LOL

“We remember Earl, a good man whose poor eyesight is why we’re gathered here today…”

Oh, snap!

Snort!

Can’t be too careful in WI nearing the big deer hunt.

Earl is about to get squashed.

Kind of like wearing a fur coat in he woods during hunting season. Particularly if some of the folks around you are visually impaired.

She should remember this is the time of halloween.

Earl must really love sleeping on the couch.

How big is her garden. Seems like they have a good acre of land for so many pumpkins.
