Because women are always right Earl.

He’s finally learning.

I don’t buy that, Llewellenbruce - especially in Opal’s case.

I solved that dilemma years ago. I refuse to empty the dishwasher. After all, it’s woman’s work.

Yep! a bloke cant do right for doing wrong as far as women are concerned. and that’s from experience!!!

You too, eh, Dughenry?

I don’t mind doing work, but I admit, my experience is similar to the other guys. I load the dishwasher, and my wife leans over my should and tells me I’m putting things in the wrong way. I unload it, and she tells me I’m putting them in the wrong place. Yet, I like where I put them.

I don’t buy it either Llewellenbruce, it is just more drivel beaten into our heads by our mothers.

His posture in the last panel is the same as the first panel. Hunched over the paper that has gotten smaller and smaller over the last few years, and printed some days so pale you can’t read it. I’m assuming he is reading my local paper.

That’s why I’m single……………………..

It’s because you married a benign harpy, Earl.

The worm turns…rock on, Earl!

Because that’s the way it is Earl!

A glass pitcher shouldn’t be that hard to find. Look around, Opal!

I resemble this strip… specifically, Earl… I tend to -er- put dishes where they fit.

another truth be told!!!!!!

As a poster in a forum I read asks, “if two men are at sea with no women around, are they both still wrong?

Probably because each dish has a place that it belongs and after several decades of marriage Earl still doesn’t know the system!

Earl must learn that wives must have something to bleeep at. Then keep your head down and say yes.

Solution is simple- keep the clean dishes in the dishwasher, and stack the rinsed dirty ones in the sink. When you run out of clean dishes, move the dirty ones from sink to dishwasher, add soap, and press the button.

She will nag whether he does something right OR wrong!

Shouldn’t that be the other way around? “If I put things away and you can’t find them it’s my fault: if you put things away and I can’t find them I’m a moron.”

r u sure thats why ur single?

I have the same problem when either my son or husband unloads the dishwasher. I have certain spots were everything goes. But they haven’t (or don’t care to) learned where all the spots are at. BUT because I enjoy their help, I just go and ask where they put such and such at. Thankfully they remember better than Earl does. Most of the time it was right under my nose and I couldn’t see it.

I’m sure the issue is that Earl puts things away wherever he feels like and Opal always puts them in the same place. Which is why Earl is a moron when he can’t find the things she has put away -they’ve been in the same place for decades! I’m actually pretty surprised Earl put any dishes away tho!
