Pickles by Brian Crane for February 05, 2020

touché, Opal

“I’m so party, let’s go dancey”

You tell him Opal!

Role-reversal! Problem solved.

Earl can always raid the garbage disposal.

I wouldn’t turn Earl loose with tools unless I had no other choice. I mean it’s got a powerful motor, fast-moving parts that are more than capable of chewing fingers AND bones to mush and it runs on electricity with that wonderful conductor, water, only inches away. What could possibly go wrong?

I feel read-y comics-y.

Roscoe: “But I’ve been a GOOD boy!!!”

I think I’d take Roscoe and Nelson out for burgers.

That comes across as being very blackmail-y.

I have my days when I don’y feel very worky either. And sometimes I don’t feel very fixy dinnery either, but if I don’t fixy dinnery. I don’t eaty. So I fixy my dinnery, but I might not do any other worky anyway.

Looks like they’re both makey up wordy.

Hello? Domino’s…..

just to see the expressions on Roscoe’s face as he’s following the conversation…

She’;s trying to tell us that she’s not ‘cooky’ today, but she’s not especially articulate.

Roscoe is wondering what about his dinner !

Let’s go out for dinner!

He don’t look like the handyman type.

Huh? But we have to eat, Opal!

Not like Opal’s younger years: “I’m a pretty good cook, sitting on my groceries. Come up to my kitchen, I’ll show you my best recipe” – apologies to Joni Mitchell

Looks like tonight is an eaty-outy-wouty situation!

Maybe the reason the disposal is broken is all of Opal’s cooking that they dump down the drain

One word Earl. Grubhub!

So just a quick comment on fixing disposals. If yours quits working do not call the repairman. On the bottom of the disposal there is a nut and a button. You can buy a wrench that fits that nut. Put it on there and twist it both ways a few times. Then push the button. This will fix the issue many times and save you money. My disposal in my last house stopped working many times and this fixed it every time.

This cartoon has a Worky Level of 1.2.

One of the women in our books club got extremely exasperated with her retired husband, who goes golfing every day, and comes home expecting meals. She has instituted “fall out” days. When her husband comes home from a tough golf game and asks, “What’re we having for dinner?” , she answers, “Open the refrigerator and whatever falls out is what you’re having.”

it works for President Trump, it works for her!

Love these people

This is why they invented dinner reservations.

Earl reminds me of someone. Oh yeah! Me.

I’m feeling very laughy today. This one made me LOL!

Lets go dinnerski on the south side of Milwaukee.

Is somebody mad at someone else? Because these strips are getting snarky.

Call the damn plumber!

Earl could go out to dinner….alone.

Opal they can’t be fixed any good repair person will tell you go you and get a new one. So you go out and buy one and then pay someone to take the old one out and put the new one in. Earl is not feeling fixy today. He tired from all your complaining.

I don’t feel like fixy dinner at all any more.
