“Quit asking me to do housework that I never do well enough to suit you.”

Opal isn’t Mary Poppins you know, Earl.

Was she in the mood for some bedroom activity and he failed to take the hint?

Opal, quit while you are ahead.

I don’t think there is a correct answer to that question.

uhhh ohh lookout opal!!!!

Bake more cookies.

Some people are not happy unless they are starting a fight.

Love Roscoe’s reaction in the final panel…sort of a stunned look there!

If he’d said anything else she’d have thrown the book at him.

Earl: Perfect answer!

All’s fair in love and war.

Well played Earl !

My wife is perfect. Although there are some things she could do that would make her perfecter.

I would have said “Quit nagging me to help more around the house.”

This method actually works.

Hey, he already eats all your cooking, puts his feet up to clear the floor when you are vacuuming. What more do you want?

Opal! He’s complimenting you! But she’s leary there may be more…..

I didn’t think Earl was that clever.

He’s making up for Sunday!

Earl, you old sweetheart you!

Who would of guessed … Earl the slick tongue devil.

Yeah, Earl… What an awful thing to say!

Some people just can’t take a compliment.

Just back off the nagging a couple of notches.

I remember a preacher telling husbands if their wives are angry to say something complimentary. It works… sometimes!

Yes, go and dust the doilies.

LOVE Earl’s mind games !!! lol

“So that’s another flaw of mine?”

You could try not running your husband down in front of everyone you meet.

Earl must be trying to get something.
