Pickles by Brian Crane for January 30, 2020

is it possible Earl’s cutting off his cranial circulation?

If you have enough rubber bands and two puppet control sticks, you can control which number your butt dials.

But don’t use ’em to tie your pony-tail: Pulls out hair.

Or making a giant rubber ball.

That looks like a good way to get a cracked screen.

That’s unique, Earl!

That’s actually a great idea, Earl.

Yes Nelson make paper wads and use the gum band to shoot the paper wads .

Somehow I think Earl’s cell phone idea is quite a stretch!

In elementary school, we used to link them together to make what was called a Chinese Jump Rope. That was a lot of fun.

Stolen idea… https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1174&bih=903&q=hands-free+rubber+band+on+head&btnG=Search+by+image&oq=&gs_l=

A continuation from yesterday’s strip…

Doesn’t make you look dorky at all Earl…

I was sure he was going to say they should aim them at Gramma.

Grandpa is a bad example on poor Nelson. I am surprised that his parents let Nelson spend so much time over there.

Snap the rubber band to make his head smart

Uh oh! Shouldn’t give Nelson ideas….

or using them to cut a watermellon..

Rubber bands have thousands of uses. The problem is finding one when you really need it!

A Muslim woman I knew used to tuck her flip phone into her hijab. Pretty cool trick!

more better, headless or not: mobile free

Flip cell phone?or cordless landline ;)

I think he’s on to something there.

Yes, while most people are now using the speaker function, both for comfort and to keep the phone and whatever it’s exuding away from their brain, Earl simply attaches his to his head. You truly are pickled, Earl.

Grand Ham.

Behold the genius at work.

Grandpa, you sound muffled. Are you OK?

LOL! I think Earl’s screen is already cracked.

I actually saw a man do this in the Toronto airport
